What do the "D's" mean on the satellite page

[+Woetohice]

Hello,

 

I've been bugged by this for a long time, the user manual doesn't tell you what they are and I can't find anything about this searching the internet. Thanks for any help with this.

It means your unit has a lock on the WAAS satellite.

In short you should have a little better accuracy!

It means that Differential error correction has been applied to that satellites signal.

Yes, England I believe. In the US (at least the Pac NW) it is 48 and 51. There probably won't be any difference in Montana.

I live in Wales, just next door to England . The D works just the same for us over here though and the general info about GPS accuracy applies world-wide.

 

(Maybe we should get DD on the little bars here in Wales. There are lots of dds in the Welsh language )
