== What potential monitoring? ==

Need some details about monitoring potential (and sources!). GPS is one-way; the receivers are ''only'' receivers so as far as I can figure there is no potential for monitoring... <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/165.225.36.79|165.225.36.79]] ([[User talk:165.225.36.79#top|talk]]) 16:55, 16 March 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Visual GPS ==

Is there potential for a visible GPS using geostationary satellites that are visible to the naked eye. Anyone could then measure the relative angles to work out their approximate position.

== Do regional systems qualify as "similar to" the Global Positioning System? ==

I have temporarily reverted the removal of references to [[IRNSS]] and other, similar, systems that provide a user's global position within a limited region. At issue is whether a system must span the entire globe to be considered similar to the US's "Global Positioning System", or merely be capable of providing a global position. My opinion is that if they are satellite-based and able to provide GPS-like positioning data anywhere on the globe - even in limited areas - then they are "similar to" the GPS system. Other thoughts?

Hi, {{u|Jtrevor99}} No, regional Systems aren't similar to Global Systems, US GPS is globally (all continents)

indian regional system IRNSS is only "Regional" isn't capable to have a Global coverage .

Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System is only a Regional System similar to The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) .[[User:LuigiPortaro29|LuigiPortaro29]] ([[User talk:LuigiPortaro|talk]]) 00:25, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

: I understand that IRNSS etc. only have "regional" coverage. However, within that region, they are able to provide a global position - information identical to what GPS provides. [[User:Jtrevor99|Jtrevor99]] ([[User talk:Jtrevor99|talk]]) 18:22, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

:: I am inclined to agree with INRSS and the Japanese systems be mentioned here. Not because they are global but the article is about GPS which is a satellite navigation system. It is cleared stated that they are regional and helps the user understand that there are other systems out there. Also, FYI the article is about GPS a satellite based navigation system not a Global navigation system. In the Future please try to build consensus before trying to remove information. Most of this info has been debated and thus added. Wikipedia is a collective effort not a place for POV pushing. Thanks.

::" If I want to change the added of the unknown , I need to Discuss in the Talk Page "? But Honestly the last version was added by ME and since 2 months that was here, Today the unknown have changed it , and then I had make a Good version of the section of GPS " GLOBAL - (G.L.O.B.A.L.) ("P-O-S-I-T-I-O-N") SYTEMS " for not make confusion Between "GPS " and other Global Systems with regional systems. , then you Have delete it without Talk in the Page , and You say me that I need to talk in the Talk page? and with no consensus you changed it?.... Why you still Believe that regional Indian deserves to be mentioned here in the same range of Beidou , Galileo and GLONASS?, I know that you are very Patriotic , But Honestly you can't say " I add Regional System of India" without consensus, AND Only because the regional system of India is a "Satellite navigation" here we are Talking about the GPS not about " satellite Navigation" ... please , C'mon , I assume that you can put a Tata car in the group of Ferrari or Mclaren saying that Tata is in the SAME group of Ferrari and Maclaren only because Tata is a " Car" , Can you understand that ? regional system of India don't deserves to be here and Believe me I don't have nothing against India, I like the legality, so what we make , we list ALL the regional systems that exist along with GPS and with the others Global Systems only because they are "Satellite navigation"?? Regional Systems like the Indian one, there's so many in every Continent and they aren't important , as well isn't true that we have talked here about the GPS , We had talked about the "Satellite navigation" ,You are confusing a Global system with a navigation system just because only here on Wipedia there is no a page about Global Systems and there's no the right Classifacation on here . we had an agreemend not here in the other section of Satellite navigation , so ins't true that we have talked about the GPS. So who has right ? You or I ? I'm educate so I don't want to change the version of today from part of the unknown to my Version that was here since 2 monts, waiting for a convincing reply.--[[User:LuigiPortaro29|LuigiPortaro29]] ([[User talk:LuigiPortaro29|talk]])-21:27, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

::: {{u|LuigiPortaro29}} Firstly, IP editors have same rights as registered users on Wikipedia since is a community effort. IRNSS has been added multiple times on this page (by different users) and has been removed by you. Thus, this merits a discussion, similar to one we had on the [[Talk:Satellite_navigation]]. Wikipedia is a community effort and you thus there needs to be a broad consensus and no uni-laterally decisions. Now coming to the discussion at hand, no one is disputing the fact that IRNSS is not a global system. It is clearly stated on that page and its mention on this page as well that it is regional. On Wikipedia, the ""See Also"" section refers to other pages which might interest the reader and have some relation to the existing page. It does not mean that they are equivalent. There is a definite connection between GPS and IRNSS is that both of them are satellite navigation systems. Thus, it is okay to mention IRNSS in the See Also section. Similarly, the section header at the very end clearly mentions Other Systems. This is to point the user to other satellite navigation systems. The word regional again is mentioned clearly here. There is no attempt to equate these systems. I believe that your argument about cars is flawed here since there are many different car types and each car type has many examples. There are not many satellite navigation systems out there thus there is only a single page on Wikipedia, not a Global or a Regional one. It does make sense other systems are mentioned across pages since this list is not too long. If you like you can add the Japanese system here as well. Lastly, I have warned you in the past and do so again, that we are all here is editors and work together. It does not matter what our nationality is as long as we are fair in our analysis. Please refrain from bringing that in these discussions or basing your arguments on these irrelevant arguments.
