Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to describe how satnav systems are designed and work, especially from the aviation viewpoint, without getting too heavily involved in mathematics and electronic engineering. It does, however, assume some knowledge of elementary maths, physics and electronics, and a nodding acquaintance with navigational terminology. It is written for the satnav user who wishes to explore the subject more deeply than simply knowing which knob to twiddle, and also to provide technical background material for the increasing number of non-specialists having to deal with GNSS and its implementation.
