Abstract
The GPS navigation solution determines the coordinates x = (x,y,z) of the GPS receiver and the receiver clock offset cdT from measurements of at least four pseudo-ranges. We derive a direct solution of these observation equations without linearization and discuss the occurrence of unique solutions, double solutions, and infinitely many solutions, and the geometric conditions leading to these cases.
