Hi Scott, abut the EU system uses different sattelite frequencies so we would have to have a different receiver to use their system right? Seems like there wouldn't be an advantage to their system from what you say. Jim

Your Receiver already supports this. The M1000 supports correction out of the box. While we call the system WAAS and the folks in Europe EGNOS the technologies are basically the same. I believe Mike has mentioned that even though the Sendero products report WAAS correction, in fact WAAS is the same indicator when EGNOS is detected as well. (they are able to be interchanged) Also, the article has an error near as I can tell. It mentions that EGNOS is better than GPS, that's an apples and oranges comparison. GPS is the over lying technology and EGNOS is a correction system that makes for a better GPS experience. Think of it as a Modem may use a suite of protocols to create the actual connection but MNP does the error correction, the MNP doesn't carry the traffic itself it's just a part or subset of a larger collection of protocols.

Hi Kevin, so does that mean that someday we can get a Holux receiver that will pick up the Euro system? Sounds better than what we have now. See pasted below, from the bottom of the online article on their system: a joint programme being carried out by the European Space Agency, the European Commission and Eurocontrol. It comprises a network of more than forty elements all over Europe that collect, record, correct and improve data from the US Global Positioning System. The modified signals are then relayed via geostationary satellites to user terminals, offering positional accuracy better than two metres, compared with 15 to 20 metres for GPS alone. In addition, EGNOS provides a guarantee of signal quality that GPS 
does not.

Here is a bit of an update of EGNOS and the Galileo global navigation
satellite system.
Below is a message from the LoadStone list and in that message is a link to 
the full article.

ESA's most advanced navigation satellite launched tonight
27 April 2008
ESA PR 25-2008 A further step towards the deployment of Europe's Galileo
global navigation satellite system was taken tonight, with the successful 
launch of ESA's second Galileo In-Orbit Validation Element (GIOVE-B)
satellite, carrying the most accurate atomic clock ever flown into space.
