I tried to keep it short, so it contains only pointers to other sources of information. Newer URLs are now marked with "Added". You can send contributions to this list to gpsinfo-faq@gpsy.com Unfortunately, due to limited resources, I cannot provided free support or consulting on the NavStar/GPS system other than the general information already provided on my web site. I can provide referrals on request.
