This new edition accommodates recent advances in the technology of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and considers its full operational status. It shows in comprehensive manner how GPS works and how it can be used for precise measurements (i.e., surveying) as well as for navigation. New material h
<p>This book is dedicated to Dr. Benjamin William Remondi for many reasons. The project of writing a Global Positioning System (GPS) book was conΒ ceived in April 1988 at a GPS meeting in Darmstadt, Germany. Dr. Remondi discussed with me the need for an additional GPS textbook and suggested a possib
