Satellite navigation device
A satellite navigation device, satnav device or satellite navigation receiver is a user equipment that uses one or more of several global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) to calculate the device's geographical position and provide navigational advice.
Depending on the software used, the satnav device may display the position on a map, as geographic coordinates, or may offer routing directions.
