WHAT IS WAAS?

WAAS, available in North and South America mainly, is a provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) navigation system. SBAS provides GPS signal corrections to SBAS users, for even better position accuracy, typically better than three meters. There are two more SBAS providers, MSAS (Multi-Functional Satellite Augmentation System) and EGNOS (Euro Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service). All providers are compatible with one another, thus providing seamless position fixes to SBAS users. The illustration below shows the coverage area of the SBAS. (Accuracy may be affected when using a GEO satellite not within your current location.) This manual uses WAAS for these three providers generically.
