About the Book

Designed for the non-specialist, this volume explains what the Navstar system is, how it operates, and how it can be used to enhance the efficiency of virtually all forms of military and civilian transport. It gives the novice user and the sophisticated navigation professional the information and practical illustrations they need to evaluate the potential of the system, select an appropriate Navstar receiver, optimize its performance capabilities, choose appropriate applications, and obtain maximum benefits from its use.
