Guest Darmichar Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 I own a Garmin GPS 12 and was wondering if I can use or implement WAAS on this system? (btw, what is WAAS??) lol Quote Link to comment
Guest Kerry Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 GPS12 No. WAAS? that stands for "World Aircraft Accident Summary" http://www.waasinfo.net/ lol, but you probably should read this one http://www.garmin.com/aboutGPS/waas.html or this one http://www.gpsinformation.net/exe/waas.html or maybe this one http://gps.faa.gov/Programs/WAAS/waas.htm Cheers, Kerry.

Guest Hawk-eye Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 quote:Originally posted by Kerry:GPS12 No. WAAS? that stands for "World Aircraft Accident Summary" No,No,no ... my aussie friend ... it stands for the "Wide area augmentation system" we have here in the US ... gives us a differential signal from several sat. off the coast and one over the equator ... you can pick it up in South America ... but it doesn't function correctly except in the northern hemisphere. Can give an accuracy of a couple feet dependind on where you are and sat. geometry. To answer the question ... it's not offered on the 12 series ... I wish ... but alas ... no.

Guest badbitbucket Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 tanding that Fosters is brewed in Canada, and has no roots in Austrailia at all... a couple more pennies from BBB. Quote Link to comment
Guest Kerry Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 The slogan goes ?Foster?s, Australian for Beer? but is brewed on 4 different continents. Fosters was first brewed by William and Ralph Foster who arrived in Melbourne from New York in 1886, been exported to the United States since 1972. But then it sometimes depends on where one lives as the southerners and northerners have many different traits? However when it?s 100 degrees in the shade I suppose any beer (cold of course) is better than no beer at all. Anyway WAAS is really a specific name for a WADGPS (Wide Area Differential GPS).
