Hello folks,
I am looking for good sources about geodesy books through Amazon.com, etc. Does anyone have recommend books for GPS programming or flight/space simulators?
Thanks!

Tim,

I am not sure what it is you are looking for nor do I understand the connection between geodesy and GPS programming. However, I would like to recommend an excellent book concerning geodesy. Try to find a copy of "Map Projections - a Working Manual" by John P. Snyder. This is also know as U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1395. I am not sure if it is still in print, but I would check the USGS to see if it is still available.

It is still available and also now available online as a PDF:
