Product Description

Review
.,." Although developed as a classroom text, the book is also useful as a reference source for professional surveyors and other GPS users. This because it covers both GPS fundamentals and leadingedge developments, thus giving it a wide appeal that will clearliy satisfy a broad range of GPS-philes ... The volume cogently presents the critical aspects and issues for users, along with the theory and details needed by students and developers alike. For those seriously entering the rapidly changing GPS field, this book is a good place to start.a GPS WORLD September "This is the fourth edition of the book, and the authors are to be congratulated on their efforts ... This book has now gained wide acceptance as a a ~seriousa (TM) book on GPS ... a Navigation

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference book for GPS, 7 Sep 2002
If you want to find out how the Global Positioning System (GPS) works, in regards to all its significant details, this is the book you need. It covers both theory and practice of GPS operation, so you don't have to look for another source, in order to get the in-depth information on satellites, reference systems, mathematical model, software, applications and future of GPS.

Great value reference book!

5.0 out of 5 stars An recommended text on GPS, 8 May 2001
By A Customer
A concise text aimed at undergraduates/ graduates who wish to learn more about GPS. Contains introductory chapters for those who need to learn from the beginning. Whereas later chapters contain more indepth treatments of atmospheric effects, data processing, ambiguity resolution etc.

Worth the cost compared to other titles on the subject.
