Default WGS-84 countries?

Where online can I find a list of countries meeting the WGS-84 GPS
standards?

Preferably from an "authoritative" source, such as FAA, AOPA, ALPA,
NASA, etc, and not from Cousin Vinnies online website

thanks

BILL

WGS-84 is not a GPS standard, but the Earth model for great circle long
range navigation.

Upon searching a bit, the best I can find, is that even ICAO doesn't know.
I did find an ICAO form from mid-2002, requesting Countries report their
complaince status and a couple of articles worrying about African and
Caribbean compliance.

It's not that either. It's a mathematical formula for approximating the shape of
the world. GPS and many maps use it.
