- Front Cover of the Book
- This is our favorite photograph of a GPS receiver
and antenna, taken by Mike Bevis at Makapu'u in Hawaii. Please try it!
- Back Cover of the Book
- This shows the IGS Tracking Stations over a
hemisphere.
- M-Files for Geodesy and GPS
- These will be available on the web in November 1997. Kai Borre has
created a library that allows you to do GPS processing (including Kalman
filter and coordinate transformations).
