What does 'sat nav' mean?

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.
