GLONASS is an acronym, which stands for Globalnaya Navigazionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema, or Global Navigation Satellite System.
GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a satellite positioning system developed and operated by Russia. Similar to GPS, it allows users to determine their location, velocity, and time with the help of satellites orbiting the Earth. GLONASS is used for navigation, mapping, and other location-based services.
Yes, Russia has developed its own satellite navigation system called GLONASS. It is used by the Russian military and also available for civilian use. Similar to the Global Positioning System (GPS) used by the United States, GLONASS provides accurate positioning, navigation, and timing services.
Global Positioning Satellites. Russia is trying to deploy a similar system called GLONASS.
There are exactly 24 operational GPS satellites around earth to determine one's location, but the Air Force usually tries to maintain 6 working but idle spares, for a total of 30 satellites.Your receiver only needs signal from 4 to compute your location.Russia has its own system (Glonass) and the EU maintains another. This probably gives a total of almost 100 satellites serving this purpose.
There is a system called the Millennium Plus available from www.findvehicle.net that is a GPS/GSM vehicle tracking, Locating and Anti-Theft system, it will also give you remote fuctions such as, lock/unlock doors, disable vehicle or operated any onboard electrical device. it will also call you if your vehicle is moved, a door opened and much more. You can even receive a insurance discount when installed. This is the latest system available and costs no more than a good stereo.
Global Positioning System (GPS) uses the signals from geosynchronous satellites to provide accurate position information for navigation. 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.
Glonass is a pro and im a pro Nastyblood owns in dota too
Currently 31 in both GPS and GLONASS (Russian navigation system, similar to GPS)

GPS, or "Global Positioning System". This is the American system. The Russians have a comparable system called "GLONASS", and the Chinese and European Union each have their own independent systems in development.
GLONASS is a constellation of satellites with a similar purpose to the US GPS system with a minimum of 24 satellites. GLONASS is operated by the Russian Federation, and finally became fully operational in 1993 with the full complement of 24 satellites. China has a similar system underway, known as COMPASS, but it has only 10 satellites operational yet, and with the aim of 30 units. A mix of geostationary and low orbit elements. IRNSS (Indian regional navigation satellite system) is also underway, but with 2 geostationary orbiting satellites operational of 7 planned. GALILEO is the navigation system being constructed by the European Union, with 4 (out of 10) of the planned satellites operational. There is also a DORIS system operated by France, but this uses quite a different system. Information from this helps ascertain the elevation of the JASON 1 and JASON 2 systems to a few cm.
Navigator devices, for example in cars, are party zero-input interfaces. They do require input when determining where the user wants to go but after that the required input is taken directly from a sensor, such as GPS or GLONASS sensor.
Navigation is a reason for why satellites are 12,000 miles in the air. The purpose of the satellite will determine its location in the atmosphere, with global positioning for the United States of America and GLONASS for the Russian Federation claiming altitudes of 6,000 to 12,000 miles.
You are describing one type of artificial satellite. There are dozens of types of satellites; some used for navigation such as the GPS or GLONASS satellites, some used for weather forecasting, some used for astronomy, and a large number used for communications. There are a few dozen satellites used to examine the Earth itself.
Satellite Navigation is just as accurate as GPS, having a 1-10 meter buffer zone. Both use a similar system, having satellites in orbit to triangulate a position. Satellite Navigation, better known as GLONASS, is used mostly by the Soviet Union while GPS, is use worldwide and the widest used system.
The United States Air Force was a primary player in the deployment of the first GPS satellites, ground stations, and user's receivers. Europe, Russia, and Japan have their own geo-locating systems. Europe's is called, "Galileo", Russia's is called, "GLONASS", and Japan's is called, "MTSAT". Japan has launched a few satellites, and plans to launch more in 2014 and 2015.
