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 beneath the skyview. 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 130 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 hundred 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 will attempt to
gather GPS signals.
