I've recently written a collection of articles which attempt to explain how GPS / GNSS works.

It is my attempt to create a resource that focuses on topics pertinent to the speedsailing + wider watersports communities.

I've tried to be accurate, yet brief. Each article has a relatively short reading time, typically around 5 or 6 minutes.

So far, I've written the following articles explaining how GPS / GNSS works:

I've got plenty more articles in mind. Several future articles will be very much aimed at the average guy / gal on the beach.

This is great! Thanks for taking the time to write and publish!

Thanks Shifu.

The next few articles will be somewhat less technical. I will add links to the new articles as they are published.
