Hey Jessie. They are not the same.
Guten Tag = good day
While Guten Nachmittag = Good afternoon
Tag = dag
Nachmittag = afternoon
where, mittag = mid-day (noon)
and, nach = after
After mid-day, also known as after-noon.^^
Hope that explains it.

Wik already explained the different literal meanings, but it should also be mentioned that "guten Nachmittag" normally isn't used in German. Between "guten Morgen" and "guten Abend" there's just "guten Tag", with no further distinction.
