Subject: GPS Info wanted.

I will appreciate info on the Global Positioning System.
Technical details on both the orbital data and the
electronics/communications at the level that would allow me
to build a home device is what I am looking for. References
or sources of information needed. Thank you.

On a related note, the latest issue of "Electronic Products" has an ad by
Rockwell for a 5-channel GPS module which has all the receiver electronics
for a GPS receiver on a small (2.5 x 4") card. All you need is some kind
of micro with a logic-level RS-232 interface (e.g., an 8031). Price is
$450 "in small quantities". 214-996-5731. They also mention an upcoming
ISA bus evaluation board (for those of you who don't know where your PC is!)
