Show WAAS Alarm

When the signal is available, your unit will automatically use WAAS to

boost the accuracy of the position fix. When the WAAS signal is lost or

acquired, an alarm message appears. Since the U.S. government is still

developing the WAAS system, its not unusual for a GPS/WAAS re-

ceiver to frequently lose and reacquire its lock on a WAAS satellite.

That can result in the alarm repeatedly going on and off. You have the

option of turning off the WAAS Acquired/Lost alarm without affecting

how the unit uses WAAS.
