Review :
"This book aims to describe current GNSS as well as their future development from a high-level point of view. This book is thus appropriate for any audience, from students to engineers and scientists. Its structure is easy to follow ... . It fulfills its objectives as a brief introductory text." (Damien Magoni, Computing Reviews, December, 2015)
