GPS text book without any equation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to GPS: The Global Positioning System (Hardcover)
1- The first thing is that you can read the book from the beginning to the last page without any difficlties.2- There is no equations in the book. Equations sometimes let books boring. 3- You can gain more information about GPS from this book. 4- Figures are very clear.

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.

Good intro for non-scientists,

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).
