Japan has its own operational regional satellite navigation system called the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS). While not a global system like GPS or GLONASS, it provides highly accurate positioning information, primarily for Japan and the Asia-Oceania region.

– Japan’s QZSS is a regional satellite navigation system.
– Other countries with their own satellite navigation systems include the USA (GPS), Russia (GLONASS), Europe (Galileo), China (BeiDou), and India (NavIC).

Australia and Canada utilize global systems like GPS. Israel does not have its own independent satellite navigation system, although it is active in space technology. Regional systems enhance accuracy and reliability in specific geographical areas.
