Hi,

I would like to know the difference between RNAV and GNSS.

Is RNAV the ones like INS and GNSS with GPS (ones using satellites)

RNAV = Area Navigation,

Good explanation here: http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/RNAV.htm

"Area Navigation (RNAV) can be defined as a method of navigation that permits aircraft operation on any desired course within the coverage of station-referenced navigation signals or within the limits of a self contained system capability, or a combination of these.

"RNAV was developed to provide more lateral freedom and thus more complete use of available airspace. This method of navigation does not require a track directly to or from any specific radio navigation aid.

"Navigation systems which provide RNAV capability include VOR/DME, DME/DME, LORAN C, GPS, OMEGA and self contained Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) or Inertial Reference Systems (IRS).

RNAV systems approved for use in Australia are normally based on GPS or inertial reference inputs.

Does this include a licensed navigator with a XXXX, Mars Bar and a credit card?

Look here for an explanation of the Australian GNSS programs.
