Accuracy Receiver status WAAS status You can use the sky view to help determine if any satellites are being blocked, and whether you have a current location fix. The sky view shows a bird's-eye view of the position of each satellite relative to the receiver's last known location. The outer circle represents the horizon (north up), the inner circle 45º above the horizon, and the center point a position directly overhead. You can also set the sky view to a Track up configuration, causing the top of the sky view to align along your current track heading. To disable/enable WAAS capability: 1. From the GPS tab, press ADJ/MENU. 2. Use the ROCKER to highlight WAAS Off or WAAS On, and press ENTER.
