WAAS
The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capability
produces a more accurate position fix. When enabled
(GPS set to
Normal
and WAAS set to
Enabled
through
the System Setup Page, also the interface must be set to
something other than RTCM mode), this feature searches
for WAAS satellites near your location and then receives
data for correcting differentials in the GPS satellite
signals. WAAS satellite numbers begin at number 33
or above and are displayed on the Satellite Page. When
differential correction data has been received for GPS
satellites (numbers 32 or below), a
D
displays in the
signal bar beneath the skyview. It is helpful to orient the
unit antenna toward the WAAS satellite shown in the
skyview. To learn more about the WAAS System, refer to
the Federal Aviation Administration Web site (http://gps.
faa.gov/).
Because the Rino 130 relies on satellite signals to provide
you with navigational guidance, the unit’s view of the sky
determines how fast you achieve navigational status. GPS
signals do not travel through heavy objects or people: For
best results, keep the unit in clear view of the sky.

At least three satellite signals are needed to determine
your location, otherwise the unit displays a “Poor
Satellite Reception” message with four options:
