Option 1: Australia doesn`t have its own satellite navigation system. While Australia uses global positioning systems, it relies on systems managed by other countries like the United States` GPS.

Option 2: Canada also doesn`t have a self-controlled satellite navigation system. It uses GNSS for navigation which includes the US`s GPS and Russia`s GLONASS.

Option 3: Israel makes use of the American Global Positioning System (GPS), although it has its own space agency and has launched satellites, it doesn`t have an autonomous satellite navigation system.

Option 4: Japan is the correct answer. Japan has its own regional Satellite Navigation System called the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS). This system enhances GPS signals in the Asia-Oceania regions, providing high-precision positioning services. So, the given answer is right. Japan indeed has its own Satellite Navigation System.
