Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capability improves position accuracy in your GPS. When enabled, this feature searches for a WAAS satellite near your location and then receives differential data for correcting the GPS satellite signals. When WAAS is enabled, you will see WAAS satellite numbers, beginning at 33 or above, displayed on the Satellite Status Page. When correction data is received, a "D" will appear in the Satellite Status Page signal bars for all applicable satellites. To learn more about WAAS, access the Federal Aviation Administration web site (www.gps.faa.gov) for a comprehensive description and links to detailed information.
