I've just been told about an online undergraduate course on the GPS system done by Stanford University. I don't remember reading about it on here, and a quick check of the archives drew a blank. The course is completely free, and on YouTube at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Fyn_h6LKU&list=PLGvhNIiu1ubyEOJga50LJMzVXtbUq6CPo&index=1 Turns out it was made in 2014, and the website mentioned is no longer available. However, the course does look very interesting. It is split into six sections, and the intention seems to have been for students to do these one a week. Each section is split into ten videos of about ten to twenty minutes each, so it comes in bite-sized chunks. I've just watched the first section, and it was very gentle and understandable - largely because it was covering material I already knew. There is the promise of some heavy mathematics later on, so we'll have to see. So if you are running out of things to do in self-isolation on a rainy afternoon, you might care to give this a look - it may well help with our understanding!
