Definición

  • Although earlier in human history travelers might seek guidance from the stars using a mechanical compass, in the global era, the dominant form of a navigation system is provided by satellite. Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are satellite constellations that generate signals that can be received virtually anywhere, anytime, and in any weather anywhere in the world.
