Editorial Reviews

Review

"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

The book is good. The description is true.In the book the existing GNSS worldwide are introduced which is very helpful for my work.
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2012
Got it recently from a booth in a conference.

Love:
Amount of information is excellent. Very thorough. You don't have to be physics major to understand. All the basics are included.

Hate:
This books needs a complete rewrite by a native English speaker with book writing experience. I completely understand that Mr Bhatta is capable and knowledgeable fellow in his field but apparently writing a book was beyond his capability. Words and ideas were repeated so many times, if written better, this book can be 2/3 as thick. Don't get me started on grammatical errors... Albeit very good, I'm not a native English speaker, so all these things are almost making me stop reading this book :(
