4.0 out of 5 stars
Alfred Leick's GPS book,
By A Customer
This review is from: GPS Satellite Surveying, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
I am surpised by the previous reviews. I am going to press on this book solely because of the excellent way in which the author has reviewed the subject. The text is as easy to understand and clearly explained as any book could be on such a complicated subject. The insertion and detailing of formulae is related to the text with similar clarity. The author naturally assumes some knowledge of the subject by the reader. If you are at this level the rest is relatively painless. The author's use and command of the English language is as good as his knowledge of the subject of GPS. For those of us that have listened to rooms full of GPS boffins speaking their own dialect this book provides a definitive translation.

GPS is too complex to understand well,

Highly Technical...Wish it were more Practical,
By A Customer
This review is from: GPS Satellite Surveying, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
Probably an important book for your GPS library, but it's easy to get lost in all the complex equations. Not for someone who is interested in the basics or who wants an overview. If you want the nitty-gritty details, this one's for you.
