Does Gaode map use GPS or Beidou navigation?

Amap uses the GPS navigation system, but the Beidou navigation system can also be used, but only if the user's mobile phone chip supports the Beidou navigation satellite.

Whether a mobile phone supports Beidou navigation mainly depends on whether the chip it is equipped with supports it, otherwise the corresponding navigation cannot be configured and used.

At present, except for Apple mobile phones, other types of models on the market are basically equipped with the Beidou navigation system. In other words, except for Apple mobile phones that cannot use Beidou navigation, other mobile phones can use it.

Amap uses GPS. Amap has special functions such as dynamic navigation, map search, points of interest, ride-hailing services, indoor map version, geek map, offline download, and online navigation.
