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.

Can my United States GPS system be used in the country of France?

Although it may not be immediately able to guild you around France, it is indeed possible to find GPS software with French maps that you can install onto your American GPS. I would check though, if your GPS isn't already equipped with French maps before buying anything, as it is entirely conceivable that the maps necessary to navigate France are already on it.


Is GPS a type of special purpose software?

No, GPS is a technology that uses a system of satellites to provide location and time information to a GPS receiver. It is not a type of special purpose software but rather a hardware and software system used for navigation and location tracking.
