The US GPS (Global Positioning System) system is a well-known technology to the information society as it is now available to most cars and smart phones. With GPS, drivers and pedestrians can now easily find his/her ways to the destinations. Global Satellite Navigation System (GNSS) is now becoming not only essential to the modern information society, but also attractive to regional politics. In addition to the current US GPS system and the Russian GLONASS (GLObalnaja NAvigatsionnaja Sputnikovaja Sistema) system, Europe is now developing its own GNSS system called Galileo, while China is also doing the same thing by developing a similar system called Beidou or COMPASS.
