And there is little grasp of these principles in the professional GIS community. Jan van Sickle's new text covers ellipsoids, datums and plane coordinate systems as they are used in GIS and GPS. It also covers the geoid and the concepts of elevation. Each of these topics implies other issues from mapping angles to datum design.
