Can't they think of a better name? It sounds really funny... lol
but though their GPS sounds funny, China is definitely becoming one of the "Super Powers" of the world.

GPS reverse engineered and we get Beidou... When will these Chinese copy cats ever learn... they will always remain as third rate nation... Good for them.

Bluedroid, What are your accomplishments in life as a person?
Calling a whole nation "third rate nation" is lame.
Please learn to respect people.
Please do not mind my comment.

Chinese system's accuracy of 10 meters vs US' 20 meters, who is the 'third rate nation' now??
Was your reading comprehension/math taught in one of those "third rate nations"?
LMFAO

Well, if this is like most other Chinese products it'll break in about 2 days.
