How does a satelliet navigation system differ than a GPS system?

They do not differ. A GPS system uses 3 different satellites that communicate together with your GPS to for a 3 dimentional que point to where you are in a 3 dimentional plane. (Thats why they need three) X,Y, and Z coordinates. There is a precomputed couple second 1-8 delay for all of the information to travel because they have already understood that it takes time for the information to get you. A satellite navigation system is another way of saying GPS.
