Note: WAAS, available in North America, is a system of satellites and ground
stations that provide GPS signal corrections, giving you better position accuracy,
typically within three meters. Other systems are currently under development:
Multi-Functional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) in Japan, and Euro
Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) for Europe.
The systems will be compatible with each other, so that by selecting WAAS
below will enable reception of the signal from any system. Unless otherwise
specified this manual uses "WAAS" when referring to these position-fixing
systems.
