of the system's
development by the
Pentagon. The book
covers this global

fully illustrated

practical, hands-on
pointers on:

receivers and
digital
instrumentation;
marine navigation,
land positioning,
surveying, mapping,
and personal safety.
The author also
outlines the
continually evolving
improvements GPS
brings to modern
aviation: more
direct routing,
precision airport
approaches,
decreased
congestion, and
safely increasing
the number of
aircraft that can
use a given
airspace. No other
book on the market
handles GPS as
thoroughly and
practically as this
one. Tap the full
potential of the
world's premier
positioning system
with the Aviator's
Guide to GPS!
