This is my favorite write up of someone truly building a GPS receiver from scratch: http://www.aholme.co.uk/GPS/Main.htm

A real tour de force of DSP - really cool stuff, and well-written

Andrew Holme's receiver was a crucial resource in my journey! There were times when a sentence or two from his post unlocked an insight for me.
Nice presentation!
