What services does Beidou system in China provide? Can it be used in other countries?

China's Beidou system is a navigation system independently developed and manufactured by China. As the most advanced navigation system in the world, it consists of 55 satellites. It has the remarkable characteristics of multi-function and more accuracy, which can help our life to be more convenient. Specifically, the services provided by Beidou system mainly include: personal location service, meteorological application, road traffic management application, making railway traffic more intelligent, helping the development of shipping and water transport industry, helping air transport, helping rescuers to perform rescue tasks at important moments, and guiding herders to graze scientifically. It can be said that China's Beidou system can influence our lives in all directions and is ubiquitous in our lives. At the same time, we will also enjoy the convenience and help it brings us in our daily life.

China's Beidou system was independently developed and manufactured by Chinese scientists, and the last satellite was launched on June 30, 2020. This indicates that China's autonomous navigation system has been basically established, and our own navigation system will be used in the future to completely break the monopoly of foreign navigation and positioning systems, enhance China's comprehensive national strength and international influence, and improve China's scientific and technological level. The establishment of Beidou system has certain historical significance. In the past, we used the American positioning system called GPS, which cost a lot of money to use every year. Now, we can use our own navigation system immediately, which is the best proof of our scientific research strength. Generally speaking, Beidou system can provide us with the following services.

First, personal location service If we get lost or drive a vehicle, we can use Beidou system to accurately reach the designated location to prevent getting lost.

Second, the meteorological service Beidou system can help us play an important role in detecting weather and ocean conditions.
