This lecture covers the concept of satellite tracking, explaining how the user position is determined by measuring pseudo-distances from known satellites. It also delves into the GPS coordinate system, discussing the Cartesian coordinates and the global terrestrial reference system. The presentation further explores absolute and relative localization using satellite position vectors, receiver position vectors, and sources of errors in determining coordinates.
