Summary: Getting great reviews!
Review: "Every GPS engineer should have this book. An engineer can find in one place a thorough treatment of the entire GPS system. One of the first places to look when a question arises. Will prove of great benefit to those first approaching a GPS engineering task, but the experienced engineer will also find it a valuable reference. The most complete description of the signal acquisition and tracking process that I have found anywhere. I highly recommend this book." -- GPS World, September 1996

Summary: The most comprehensive treatment of GPS in a single volume.
Review: An in-depth engineer's guide to understanding and utilizing today's GPS, covering all aspects of GPS including fundamentals, receiver operation, effects of interference on signal tracking, GPS performance, differential GPS, integration with other sensors, GLONASS, the INMARSAT overlay and as well as projections for future GPS markets and applications.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Book
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clearly the Best General Reference on GPS
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent to Pratice the GPS Technology
Review: 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.

Summary: Great Book for Developing GPS Tracking Systems
Review: 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.
