Remember Steve,

Commercial POIs could be off quite a bit.  It's best to create your own user
POI's at the main door and then determine how good the accuracy has improved
with EGNOS using your own POIs not Commercial POIs.

Thanks.

Hi Peter

I noticed the WAAS for the first time earlier this week. I hadn't used 
Sendero for a week or two and as soon as I got it working on Tuesday morning

it came up with WASS, 10 satallites, 9 feet. However, I did not notice that 
this was of any real hope as when I was waiting at a bus stop it was 
reporting that a pub down the road was 48 feet away when in fact it was 
about 450 feet away. That particular pub is not normally the closest POI to 
that particular bus stop.

This is in Reading 30 miles west of London.

Hi All,

A while back Kevin C posted news that EGNOS, which is the European
version of WAAS, had started to go live some time last year.  I was
then expecting Sendero to start reporting better accuracy with WAAS,
and at last, for about the last month or two, I've consistently been
getting accuracy of up to nine or ten feet with WAAS around London
and where I live.   I'm simply curious to know whether others in the
UK have noticed this, and whether it's country wide or just in certain 
areas.

Best,

Peter
