I don't see a reference to GLONASS in the sub's page. Edit: It angers me that high-ranking users abuse their priviledge to downvote. I'm making a legitimate point here; I don't see "GLONASS" or any reference to alternative GPS in that page. On Reddit, someone suggested that TIL links to Wikipedia should point to the specific information, not the whole article. It got >1000 upvotes. When I point out that there is no obvious link to the claim made in this submission, someone rates my comment as useless.

It's right there under "Location". You can search the page for "GLONASS" with Ctrl-F or Cmd-F depending on your OS.

Ctrl+F -> GLONASS. It's there.

  Assisted GPS Digital compass Wi-Fi Cellular I did a CTRL-F on GLONASS and no match is found. I said I did this in my edit... I'd take a screenshot, but I'm at work.

    Where do you live? It's probably GPS-only for your region.

      No sign of it on the Canadian website. Now you've got me curious if the Canadian version of the phone has it disabled or something, because its presence would really help me with an app I am working on.

  Unfortunately I'm seeing the same thing. the first thing I did was search for GLONASS.

The first time I opened the specs page (right after this was posted), there was no mention of GLONASS for me either. Looking at google's cache atm, it's not there either ( http://goo.gl/ulMM7 http://goo.gl/ulMM7 ). When I refreshed the page 30 minutes ago, it had appeared, so my guess would be that this has something to do with distributed cache servers.
