    Alright but Global Positioning System is also a description of what all of them do, even if it’s the name of a specific constellation it’s not inaccurate to refer to the others as that. Even though it’s not technically correct it’s… actually I could argue that they’re all technically systems used to give positioning information globally.

      Maybe that would be an argument if they used lower-case global positioning system rather than specifically GPS.
