Chapter 2 Tablet Specifications Discrete GPS with SBAS 7
Discrete GPS with SBAS
The GPS in your tablet includes a satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) that supports wide-
area or regional augmentation through the use of additional satellite-broadcast messages. Such
systems are commonly composed of multiple ground stations, located at accurately-surveyed
points.
Your tablet comes with an embedded, discrete Global Positioning System (GPS) module that
supports the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) for improved accuracy in the United
States, the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) for improved accuracy in
Europe, and the Multifunctional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) for improved accuracy in
Japan.
The proper augmentation system is detected based on your location. No special selection is
required. The augmentation feature uses signals from geostationary satellites to improve on the
reliability and accuracy of the signals from the GPS satellites. You can use it with your preferred
mapping applications to find your current location and locations you are searching for.
