I've been an engineer and PM working with GPS and GPS systems since the inception of GPS in the mid-80s. While employed by a major DOD research lab I was fortunate enough not only to have access to practically every GPS book and article available, but I also had the opportunity to meet many of the key people responsible for the design and development of the system (many of whom contributed to this text). From system design to receiver architecture, this is by far the best general reference I have found on GPS.

I have been interesting GPS for 5 years and used GPS for land navigation, for INS aid, for DGPS purposes. I have read about 9-10 books on GPS. This book is the best one. It has a good introductory information, clear theorical chapters. Applications of GPS are also covered very well. I suggest this book both new and advanced GPS related people.

This book has entire body of knowledge concerning GPS concept , control, satellites operation , propagation, receivers, and extra to Explain the Differential GPS Error correction and more. This book is ULTRA suitable for student and engineer, also suitable for the people who want to practice GPS Theory in Detail.

I'm an aerospace professional that is very close to the GPS system. This book is one of the best in depth references that I could recomend. I am not a novice and this text may intimidate some.

If you are looking at the first edition, please note that the publisher plans to issue a second edition in December 2005.

This is a great book to read if you plan on developing any type of GPS tracking system. While the book covers the the basics, you'll need some further resources on interfacing GPS receivers and such hardware to real-world devices.

An interesting article entitled "Tracking a Vehicle With GPS" can be read at www.closerworlds.com

A lot of mobile solutions are soon to hit the market such as mobile phones using GSM or GPRS to track a person. This book will help to understand how it all fits together. It would have been nice if the book could have touched on how older communication systems like VHF radios can transmit GPS data. For that you'll have to visit www.closerworlds.com or some other website with such resources.
