5.0 out of 5 stars
GREAT BASIC REFERENCE,
This review is from: Introduction to GPS: The Global Positioning System (Hardcover)
If you are a geodesy expert looking for a mathematical treatment of GPS theory, look elsewhere (there are several good books). If you are looking for a good collegiate-level descriptive text, this is a great choice. Clear, concise, and with all the latest info including WAAS, RTK, and similar topics. Reviewed for content by Dr. Dave Wells and written by an expert in the field, this is a super reference.

This review is from: Introduction to GPS: The Global Positioning System, Second Edition (Hardcover)
Got this to supplement pilot training on GPS. Provides lots of information not found in "basic" GPS books without all of the techno-bable (well there is a little, but not too much).
5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful reference for the GPS system,
By Mike D (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to GPS: The Global Positioning System, Second Edition (Hardcover)
This is one of the most useful GPS books I have. It's a wonderful reference for the entire GPS system. The information is presented simply without mathematical equations, yet the technical depth is sufficient to cover many details that engineers and professionals need to understand. The book also contains many useful references for those who require additional depth.
