GLONASS (Russian: ГЛОНАСС, IPA: [ɡlɐˈnas]; Глобальная навигационная спутниковая система; transliteration Globalnaya navigatsionnaya sputnikovaya sistema), or "GLObal NAvigation Satellite System", is a space-based satellite navigation system operating in the radionavigation-satellite service and used by the Russian Aerospace Defence Forces. It provides an alternative to GPS and is the second alternative navigational system in operation with global coverage and of comparable precision.
Manufacturers of GPS devices say that adding GLONASS made more satellites available to them, meaning positions can be fixed more quickly and accurately, especially in built-up areas where the view to some GPS satellites is obscured by buildings. Smartphones generally tend to use the same chipsets and since the versions used since 2015 receive GLONASS signals, smartphones using such chips receive GLONASS positioning information along with GPS. Since 2012, GLONASS was the second most used positioning system in mobile phones after GPS. The system has the advantage that smartphone users receive a more accurate reception of up to 2 meters.

Navigated to coordinates in different settings (suburban commercial area, wooded area near a river & walking path underneath a bridge) testing accuracy of GPS & GLONASS inlcuding speed of initial satellite fix on my position. Video in video shows actual tracks via Garmin Connect while running the field tests, showing the distance variance in the paved and dirt paths. Lots of text info & commentary. If you have any questions or advice please leave a comment. Thanks for watching!
GLONASS is the Russian Global Satellite Navigation System. It is an alternative and complementary to the US GPS.

Russia has launched another satellite into orbit as part of its global navigation project - GLONASS. This means the system is now fully operational and can provide global coverage. RT's Peter Oliver tells us more about the new rival to the US-produced GPS system. RT on Twitter http://twitter.com/RT_com RT on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/RTnews
glonass takes time about less than 1 minute to lock gps...a-gps only takes 4-5 minutes to lock sometimes it takes forever...
On the first of January 2015, the world's' first National Accident Emergency Response System – ERA-GLONASS – began operating throughout the entire Russian Federation. Potential capabilities of the ERA-GLONASS system are far wider than emergency response.
The iPhone 4S uses GPS and GLONASS from an MDM6610 for location purposes, whereas the iPhone 4 uses GPS from BCM4750. Apologies for shaking, I have applied anti-shake in post processing. It is hard to shoot steady video in a moving vehicle unfortunately :/
The Proton-M, (Протон-М) GRAU index 8K82M or 8K82KM, is a Russian heavy lift launch vehicle derived from the Soviet-developed Proton. It is built by Khrunichev, and launched from sites 81 and 200 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Commercial launches are marketed by International Launch Services (ILS), and generally use Site 200/39. The first Proton-M launch occurred on 7 April 2001. This article contains information about a rocket launch that is scheduled to occur imminently or may already be in progress. Details may change rapidly as the countdown and ascent progress. Details: International Launch Services launched a Proton-M/Briz-M from Site 200/39 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome carrying the Eutelsat 9B geosynchronous communications satellite for Eutelsat. • Webcast Launch was sche...
