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.com/aboutGPS/waas.html Richard |
