Abstract :
The GPS and GLONASS systems are compared, and the satellites´ status, the Magnavox GPS/GLONASS navigator, the system time difference, data processing software, and test results (combined GPS/GLONASS coverage and positioning and GLONASS receiver performance) are examined. It is noted that a constellation of 48 navigation satellites consisting of 24 GPS and 24 GLONASS satellites should be available by the mid-1990s. To take full advantage of these satellites, navigation equipment can be built to track both types of satellites and process the combined data
