Is NavIC started in India?

The IRNSS-1A launched in 2013 was India’s first navigation satellite. NavIC is designed for a position accuracy better than 20 metres in India, its primary coverage area. An area of 1,500 km from the Indian boundary will also be covered by this system.

Is NavIC better than GPS?

GPS also uses a single frequency band and this makes calculations a bit more complex. NavIC satellites use dual frequency bands (L5-band and S-band), which is why the system is relatively more accurate than GPS (that uses a single band and makes compensation for error due to signal deterioration by the atmosphere).

Can we use NavIC?
