What does this mean for existing (maybe older) GPS receivers? Do they require a software update for the changes?

Perhaps you should contact the supplier or manufacturer of your unit to confirm.

Also see the US GLOBALSAT forum.

Only applicable in North America - where waas provides additional accuracy

No additional equipment required

Good explanation to be found in Garmin's site :- http://www8.garmin.c...utGPS/waas.html
