Great Book for Learning about GPS Tracking and Navigation

This is a great book to read if you plan on developing any type of GPS tracking or navigation system. While the book covers the the basics, you'll need some further resources on interfacing GPS receivers and such hardware to real-world devices.An interesting article entitled "Tracking a Vehicle With GPS" can be read at www.closerworlds.comA lot of mobile solutions are soon to hit the market such as mobile phones using GSM or GPRS to track a person. This book will help to understand how it all fits together. It would have been nice if the book could have touched on how older communication systems like VHF radios can transmit GPS data. For that you'll have to visit www.closerworlds.com or some other website with such resources.
