Mountain View GPS inventor honored
Associated Press, as reported at SFGate.com
"Ivan Getting of Coronado, Calif., and Bradford Parkinson of Mountain View, Calif., will share the $500,000 Charles Stark Draper Prize for creating GPS, the ubiquitous system used by everyone from lost automobile drivers to soldiers fine-tuning the path of aircraft and missiles. Getting is considered the visionary behind GPS, and Parkinson the architect who helped implement the system."
