As such utilizing GPS for navigation amounts to utilizing satellite navigation ("sat nav"). Note that while GPS, which was developed by the US government is the most widely used satellite navigation system, Russia also has the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) deployed which can provide essentially the same satellite navigation capabilities - and can be used in along with GPS to get faster and more accurate position information. The EU, Japan, China, and India are also working to deploy a satellite navigation systems.


Do you have to subscribe to gps service?

The signals that a GPS receiver or Sat Nav system uses to calculate its position are broadcast freely and globally by the GPS satellites orbiting earth 20,000Kms away. As there is no way for the GPS satellites to know who or what is receiving or using the signals that they broadcast, it would be impossible to charge people for their use. Much like free to air TV or radio. Subsequently, the GPS service is free. The hardware required to use it however will cost you.
