Scenarios about 'satellite navigation'
Satellite navigation refers to systems that use satellites to provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage. This technology, pioneered by military applications like the US Global Positioning System (GPS) and Soviet GLONASS in the Cold War era, revolutionized navigation by enabling precise location determination without terrestrial reference points. In alternate history scenarios, different development timelines of satellite navigation could significantly alter military capabilities, civilian transportation networks, and the evolution of digital mapping technologies.
