Explainer: GNSS is the umbrella term that includes GPS and other satellite systems

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) refers broadly to any satellite-based positioning network, while GPS is specifically the United States' system and just one example of GNSS. Other national systems include Russia's GLONASS, the EU's Galileo, India's NavIC, China's BeiDou, and Japan's regional QZSS. Despite their national names, most of these systems provide global coverage rather than being limited to their home countries.
