Bücher von B. Hofmann-Wellenhof

This new edition adds the most recent advances in GPS technology, although the overall structure essentially conforms to the former editions. Furthermore, the augmentation of GPS by satellite-based and ground-based systems leading to future Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is discussed.

Global positioning systems like GPS or the future European Galileo are influencing the world of navigation tremendously. The second part treats the methods of positioning including terrestrial, celestial, radio- and satellite-based, inertial, image-based, and integrated navigation.
