【推荐1】Most people have map apps on their phones that can show their location and guide them where they want to go. But how do these apps know your location at any time or place? They find you by using satellite navigation（satnav）systems（卫星导航系统）.

With its world-leading technology, Beidou is leading Chinese citizens to a better life by playing important roles in different areas, according to Xinhua News Agency. For example, as of April, over 6. 2 million vehicles（车辆）in China were using Beidou for navigation, according to a report on the Beidou system’s construction and development.
