GPS (Global Positioning System) Satellites orbit around our earth in order to give us our precise location in the world

SATNAV (Satellite Navigation) SATNAV – a system of computers and satellites that tell the user exactly where they are or how to get to a place. Uses GPS technology.

GIS (Geographic Information System) GIS – a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing and displaying data which has a geographical (locational) reference. Layers of data can be stored and then analyzed. Without the use of a GIS, the current capabilities of modern digital mapping like Google Earth and SATNAV would not be possible.
