==The good news is that the current section 6.2 Geometric interpretation can be improved==

A wonderful paper by Richard B. Langley called "The Mathematics of GPS" can be found at

http://gauss.gge.unb.ca/gpsworld/EarlyInnovationColumns/Innov.1991.07-08.pdf .

This paper explains how the intersection of three spheres is inadequate to determine the ___location of a GPS receiver. The paper goes on to show that the intersection of four spheres is generally sufficient to determine the ___location of a GPS receiver. The explanation of GPS in this paper is far superior to that found in the current section 6.2 of the GPS article. But the good news is that section 6.2 can be improved to the level of that found in this Langley paper. This can be done by ditching the current contents of section 6.2 and replacing it with an explanation which follows that found in the Langley paper.
