Default How different is aviation GPS?

In a previous article, B A R R Y said:
I'm in CT, so being right on the east coast, and not right against the
Canadian border might have a positive effect. AFAIK, the two special
satellites are over the Atlantic and Pacific.


According to
http://gps.faa.gov/programs/waas/for_pilots.htm
both of them are in the middle of the Pacific now. And when they get a
third one this fall, it's still going to be over the Pacific as well.
