Book on Algorithms in Computational Geometry

Book on Algorithms in Computational Geometry e.g. convex hulls, line intersections, triangulations, point location/trapezoidal maps, Voronoi Diagrams etc.

To be honest, this was amongst the more beautiful things i have seen of late

One example of the utility of this is GPSes, which as i understand will use methods to find out "intersections" of layers of roads etc, followed by some kind of routing algorithms (Dijkstra?).

If a region/node has a weight, instead of an edge having a weight and if we want to minimize the weight, one way to do that is to from one node, construct edges to "neighboring" nodes with a weight of the destination node and then use Dijkstra?(confirm)
