That comment may be helpful in a GPS newsgroup where the technology is discussed in the absence of any application, however, in an aviation newsgroup, discussions of GPS are primarily about the application, and in that context WAAS is inseparable from GPS; in other words, in aviation there is no application for WAAS independent GPS AFAIK. There are no GPS aviation receivers that are not equipped with WAAS? Are you sure? The GNS430 and GNS530 manuals I have in front of me say nothing about WAAS, which would be quite an omission if they supported it. And assuming that a GPS receiver supports WAAS when it does not is very dangerous. (So is overestimating WAAS, but that's a separate issue.) -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
