From the Publisher

You may think that Einstein, satellites, computers...things like that are esoteric. As a matter of fact, they can be fun and easy!

If you are not interested in any technical details, the suggested readings are Chapter 1, a modern Sherlock Holmes detective story. Chapter 4, A Tale of Two Brothers, the pseudo science fiction and Chapter 5, Navigation stories, the past and future. Chapter 2 and 3 are for those who feel like to know some more about GPS. Chapter 0 is the prelude.

The use of this military state-of-the-art in the consumer electronics is making GPS in your everyday life. Many more applications are still waiting for your discovery of GPS!
