Satellite systems are very efficient, but owing to their limited exposure and\/or availability in some environments, they do not cover the whole spectrum of applications. Thus, many other positioning techniques are being developed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow, Global Positioning presents an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of various systems with a specific emphasis on those that are satellite-based. Beginning with a description of the evolution of positioning systems, the book provides detailed coverage of the three main Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) constellations, discusses how to cope with indoor positioning, defines development activities and commercial positioning, and proposes a vision for the future of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpecial features of the book include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercises to test and challenge the reader's understanding\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eDirect comparison between constellations and other positioning systems\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eMathematical content kept to a minimum in order to maximize accessibility and readability\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eDescriptions of European and U.S. discussions for Galileo\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eHistorical aspects and links between the distant past and current systems\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eFootnotes that provide hints and comments to the reader\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt a time when the positioning domain is experiencing such immense transformation, it is vital to have a solid understanding of the fundamental principles, current tech-nologies, and future improvements that will help estimate the performance and limita-tions of existing systems.
