I installed the Monero GUI wallet on my laptop.

When I open the wallet and plug in my Ledger Nano S, I see an address on my Ledger Nano S which is different from the receiving address in the Monero GUI wallet.

What is the use of the Ledger Nano S in combination with the Monero GUI wallet?

Thanks.

It is very likely that you have an integrated address, which is a composite address made of an underlying standard address and a short payment id, packed together. An integrated address can be split to recover both components, and some software, including Ledger, does so. So when you give it an integrated address, the address it displays will be the (shorter) standard address it recovered from it.
