Did you know that GPS is often referred to as the “Kleenex” of the GNSS “world”?

 

GPS is just one type of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), similar to how Kleenex is one brand of tissue.

Many people use the term “GPS” as a generic term for satellite navigation, but there are other GNSS systems like GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou.
