WAAS The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capability produces a more accurate position fix. When enabled (GPS set to Normal and WAAS set to Enabled through the System Setup Page, also the interface must be set to something other than RTCM mode), this feature searches for WAAS satellites near your location and then receives data for correcting differentials in the GPS satellite signals.

When differential correction data has been received for GPS satellites (numbers 32 or below), a D displays in the signal bar beneath the skyview.
