Abstract

This, and the following two papers, were presented during the European GNSS98 Symposium held at the Centre de Congrès Pierre Baudis, Toulouse, France, from 20–23 October 1998.

It is now clear that Global Positioning Systems (GPS) will be the primary navigational and positioning tool used as we move into the 21st century. As a result of the continued expansion and development of GPS, concerns have been voiced about the liability associated with development, construction, and use of the system. No short paper can explore all of the various liability issues associated with GPS. However, this paper will touch upon various liability issues in the hope that this analysis will continue with the development of GPS.
