Reviews

It is organized somewhat differently than most of the standard texts in that it attempts to treat each of the four GNSS it discusses equally and consecutively instead of introducing GPS first and then discussing the three other systems in comparison later on. ... The book concludes with a very well written glossary, a complete reference list, and a good index. ... Overall this is a good book for a nonexpert student who wants more information than is available in popular publications. -Kyle O'Keefe, Geomatica, Vol. 65, No. 4, 2011
