Hello,
The use of the abbreviation GPS is not correct. (mostly used within metadata functions and also in the name of the tab GPS to show the map). The correct name for a navigation satellite system is GNSS for global navigation satellite system.
GPS is the name of the american GNSS like GLONASS is the russian GNSS, GALILEO the EU one, BEIDOU, the Chinese one.
Of course very few people know the difference and 'GPS' is used everywhere because it was the first system.
But, let us all start to change this ! ... and rename GPS with GNSS.
