Content: GLONASS COMPASS – GPS and GLONASS can be used to give you an indication of your direction of travel. Providing you are moving the difference in GPS/GLONASS co-ordinates over a period of a few seconds will indicate your direction of travel. This is NOT as accurate as a magnetic compass. IRNSS or Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System. As the name suggested this is like GPS and GLONASS but operates regionally rather than globally
BeiDou Navigation Satellite System is China’s system. It is close to full operational capacity. As of 2018 it is operational regionally in Asia. Galileo is Europe’ssystem. It is close to full operational capacity (stated as 2020 but I understand that a sufficient constellation of satellites is already in orbit). GLONASS Future
Europe’s Galileo system will come into action around 2020.
