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. WAAS satellite numbers begin at number 33
or above and are displayed on the Satellite Page. When differential correction data has been received for GPS satellites (numbers 32 or below), a D displays in the signal bar beneath the skyview. It is helpful to orient the unit antenna toward the WAAS satellite shown in the skyview. To learn more about the WAAS System, refer to the Federal Aviation Administration Web site (http://gps. faa.gov/).
UNIT OPERATION > SATELLITE PAGE
Because the Rino 130 relies on satellite signals to provide you with navigational guidance, the unit’s view of the sky determines how fast you achieve navigational status. GPS signals do not travel through heavy objects or people: For best results, keep the unit in clear view of the sky.

At least three satellite signals are needed to determine your location, otherwise the unit displays a “Poor Satellite Reception” message with four options:
