WAAS

The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capability

produces a more accurate position fix. When enabled

(GPS set to Normal and WAAS set to Enabled through

the System Setup Page; also the interface must be set

to something other than RTCM mode), this feature

searches for WAAS satellites near your location and

then receives data for correcting differentials in the

GPS satellite signals. WAAS satellite numbers begin at

number 33 or above and are displayed on the Satellite

Page. When differential correction data has been received

for GPS satellites (numbers 32 or below), a D displays

in the signal bar. It is helpful to orient the unit antenna

toward the WAAS satellite shown in the skyview. To

learn more about the WAAS System, refer to the Federal

Aviation Administration Web

site (

http://gps.faa.gov/

).

Because the Rino 110 relies on

satellite signals to provide you

with navigational guidance,

the unit’s view of the sky

determines how fast you achieve navigational status. GPS

signals do not travel through heavy objects or people: For

best results, keep the unit in clear view of the sky.

Satellite Strength

At least three satellite signals are needed to determine

your location; otherwise the unit displays a “Poor

Satellite Reception” message with four options:
Use with GPS Off—select this option if you want

GPS off.
New Location—select this option if you have moved

more than 600 miles (from where you last used the unit).
Restart Search—select this option if today is not date

provided.
Continue Acquiring—select this option if no other

option applies. The unit attempts to gather GPS signals.
