GPS is a SatNav-system which uses the US-Satelites (NAVSTAR). There are aslo other Navigation Satellite Systems like the Russian GLONASS and the EU Galileo. As far as I know these systems are not fully functional yet.
So basically GPS is the only SatNav/GNSS you can use today.
The question " GPS or SatNav?" makes as much sense as "eagle or bird?"

Thank you for clarifying this, but as mentioned above we bottomed out what I meant by "GPS or SatNav" - it was the routable maps I was referring to. Basically a handheld GPS like GPSmap CSx60 won't lead you through city centre of LA on a turn-by-turn basis but a Garmin Zumo 550 will.
I think that the lads above understood what I was trying to say and helped me understand what I'm looking for.
Thanks!
Andy
