I like J.E.D. Williams, "From Sails to Satellites, The Origin and Development of Navigational Science", Oxford University Press, 1992, ISBN 0-19-856387-6. It has a broader scope than the other two books. Jed Williams was Managing Director of Britannia Airways and president of the Royal Institute of Navigation. Bill Murdoch
