48 pgs. This book focuses on GPS and how it works. There are lots of components and systems connected with computers, science, and math that work together to make this technology happen. It was a very good explanation of these machines. I learned a lot. I think it would be great for science classes/STEM and is highly recommended for Grades 4-6.
This is a very detailed text about the American Global Positioning System (GPS). Although there are amazing and highly interesting facts about GPS, only a very specific audience would select this book. Students will probably get lost in some of the details.
