[talk-ph] GLONASS

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

GPS is the American system while GLONASS is the Russian system. Also,
Galileo is the EU system.

GLONASS and Galileo were developed so that Russia and the EU do not have to
depend on the American system. GPS, after all, is a technology developed
originally for military purposes.
