The alternate global navigation system, GLONASS, from Russia was coming along strongly until it hit a snag. In a December launch 3 satellites to complete the constellation failed to launch. Now they planning to do the same in June. Intially the system is meant for Russia and local countries only. But, the service is going to get extended worldwide soon. Systems that can handle GPS as well as GLONASS have started appearing in the US market already. It'll be interesting to watch the level of service provided by these satellites.
