WAAS will provide about 10 feet, but that only for approaches with

WAAS actually works anytime the satellite correction signal is
available, you don't have to be flying an approach.
My Garmin 60CS, as well the eTrex Vista I previously owned, both use
WAAS corrections. I can't remember the last time I didn't get the
corrections.
A friend bought a 60CS recently and we noticed that my old Garmin-12 got
better reception and seemed more accurate. We called Garmin and the
fellow we talk with was surprised because both units use the same chips
inside!
