Ever hear of WAAS?



Yes. And it's not part of GPS.


What do you think the WAAS is "augmenting"?

Cheers

If it were part of GPS, it couldn't augment itself. QED.

You can wriggle but you haven't answered my question. It's not QED. If
you can't think about it let me help you. The WAAS is NOT a positioning
system is it? What does it *actually* augment?

Cheers
