Excellent reference book for GPS5
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!

An recommended text on GPS5
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.
