A '''software GNSS receiver''' is a [[GlobalSatellite navigation|Global satelliteNavigation system|GNSSSatellite System]] (GNSS) receiver that has been designed and implemented following the philosophy ofusing [[software-defined radio]].
 
A GNSS receiver, in general, is an electronic device that receives and digitally processes the signals from a GNSSnavigation satellite constellation in order to provide position, velocity and time (of the receiver).
 
GNSS receivers have been traditionally implemented in hardware: a ''hardware GNSS receiver'' is conceived as a dedicated chip that have been designed and built (from the very beginning) with the only purpose of being a GNSS receiver.
