WAAS/EGNOS
WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) and EGNOS (European
Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) are two space based
correction services that provide deferentially corrected data to
improve GPS positions. WAAS is available over North America
and EGNOS is available over Europe. These services are free to
use by the public. There are multiple satellites in both
geographies that provide the correction signal.
To learn more about WAAS and its availability refer to:
http://www.nstb.tc.faa.gov/RT_WaasSatelliteSt
atus.htm. To learn more about EGNOS and its availability refer to:
http://www.egnos-pro.esa.int/index.html.
If the system is powered up in a location where the system determines a WAAS or EGNOS signal should be available the
operator will have to configure the PRN for the respective correction source. The WAAS/EGNOS screen enables you to
select the Primary PRN for your WAAS configuration. For the latest detailed WAAS/EGNOS information and availability,
please refer to the WAAS or EGNOS websites.
It can take 15 to 20 minutes for the WAAS/EGNOS signal to be detected the first time.
To access the WAAS/EGNOS screen, select the GPS tab from the main AutoSteer Setup screen and then press the WAAS or
EGNOS button (depending on which one is active).
