"Relativity in the Global Positioning System" by Neil Ashby of the University of Colorado is excellent. Chapter 6 discusses relativistic corrections for satellites using GPS.

Living Rev. Relativity, 6, (2003), 1

Ashby knows whereof he speaks. He is credited with properly accounting for general relativistic effects in what is now the GPS constellation.
