Speaking of positioning navigation, you still first think of GPS, the American GPS because of senior seniority, fame, and even become a navigation and positioning pronoun, almost in the monopoly position.
but! Everybody! The monopoly of the "big net" for decades has finally been broken by China. A sword from the East has been sheathed! It is our own research and development Beidou navigation system!
