Attila,
Thank you very much for the references. I had come across [4] when
searching on Kalman filters for GPS aiding of INS measurements. I
didn't pay much attention to the GPS chapter at the time but I'll look
at it again. I just downloaded [3] and it appears to have a good mix of
practical vs. theoretical aspects. I appreciate the help!

The basic system is that of an DSSS modulator/demodulator.
The best text on spread spectrum systems I have found sofar
is [1]. I explains modulation and demodulation in a hands on
fashion. But, due to the age of the book, it does not contain
any of the advanced stuff done today. But I think you don't need
anything more fancy than an early-prompt-late correlator architecture
for tracking.
For the way how GPS works and how correlation and everything is
done, I would suggest [2,3,4]. [2] is a good overview of how
GPS is done and contains 99% of everything you need to know
(special thanks to Magnus for mentioning it). It lacks some
details on how to actually implement the system though.
There [3] helps a lot, as it's a book specifically on building a
GPS/Galileo receiver. I only skimmed trough a digital copy of [4]
yet, so I cannot say too much about it, but that it's probably the
most complete book on radio and inertial navigation I have seen
sofar. The level of detail seems to vary from topic to topic
quite a bit, but it is a treasure trove of references for everything
the book covers (which is a damn lot!)
If you are tight on time I would probably recommend to start with [3]
and have a look at [1] and [2] when things don't make sense.
