GPS World welcomes back Tracy Cozzens as Editor-at-Large

GPS World is celebrating its 35th birthday in 2025 by welcoming back longtime editor Tracy Cozzens as Editor-at-Large. 

A subsidiary of Cleveland-based North Coast Media, GPS World is a business-to-business media brand covering GPS, GNSS and Complementary positioning, navigation and timing solutions and trends.

“Serving this highly technical market for 20 years, I have been privileged to build wonderful relationships with many technology innovators,” Cozzens said. “I simply couldn’t stay away from what I know — GPS, GNSS and PNT — and whom I know. There’s nothing like our industry when it comes to non-stop technology breakthroughs that broadly advance our world.”

Cozzens returns to bring her deep industry insight and editorial leadership at a time when rapid innovation is reshaping GNSS/PNT landscapes.

“As a 35th birthday gift to our loyal family of GPS World marketing partners, and unmatched audience of readers — qualified/audited GPS/GNSS/PNT buyers and specifiers — we wooed Tracy Cozzens out of retirement,” said GPS World Sales Director Tod McCloskey. “Tracy’s award-winning gumshoe reporting and stellar content-creation skills for decades have helped keep industry leaders informed on GPS, GNSS and PNT technology trends. Now, Tracy also will help shape the content calendars for GPS World’s market-leading magazine, website, e-newsletters and social media.”

Cozzens will report directly to GPS World Editor Diane Sofranec.
