SBAS (TM-D710GA/GE only)
SBAS (Satellite‑Based Augmentation System) is a collective term given to the technologies to correct GPS errors using
geostationary satellites.
SBAS is referred to as WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) for the USA, as EGNOS (European Geostationary
Navigation Overlay Service) for Europe and as MSAS (MTSAT Satellite‑based Augmentation System) for Japan.
To configure SBAS, go to Menu 500 (GPS - SETUP1 - SBAS).

Note:
◆ While SBAS is active, ensure that the sky is not obstructed in the direction of the SBAS satellite during the positioning.
◆ Upon receipt of a signal from WAAS, the satellite number “35”, “47”, “48”, “51”, or “34” appears in the GPS satellite information
screen.
◆ Upon receipt of a signal from EGNOS, the satellite number “33”, “37”, “44”, or “39” appears in the GPS satellite information
screen.
◆ Upon receipt of a signal from MTSAT, the satellite number “42” or “50” appears in the GPS satellite information screen.
◆ The signal from satellites that are located in a geostationary orbit is weaker and more difficult to capture than the signals of
other GPS satellites, and therefore, positioning takes longer length of time.
◆ Information regarding whether or not the data received from an SBAS satellite is used for computation in the GPS unit is not
displayed.
◆ Turning on the SBAS function does not guarantee that the margin of positioning error becomes smaller.
