Editorial Team

The GPS Daily Editorial Team produces GPS Daily's coverage of satellite navigation and positioning. We report on GNSS constellations, receivers and chipsets, positioning, navigation and timing, and the research and defense applications built on precise location. Articles reflect our team's collective editorial process, source verification, drafting, technical review, and editing, rather than a single writer's work. GPS Daily takes editorial responsibility for content under this byline. For more on how we work, see our editorial policy.
