I have found with my experience with a GPS that it is not always accurate. It is a good idea to have a general sense of where you are going so if the GPS does lead you astray, you will recognize that it is taking you in the wrong direction. Having said that, having a GPS can be a valuable tool when traveling and I highly recommend them. It is also important to make sure you have the most current maps downloaded onto your GPS because new roads are being built all the time.

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.
