Thanks Mike. I knew we had waas, but didn't know what the Europeans called
the equivalent.
British commercial poi's used to be less than the American. Could some of
the British members on how much or if any improvements they have seen in the
maps please??

Judy,
There is a slight difference in Europe verses the US when it comes to the
GPS item called WAAS. those are the ground based stations that add some
accuracy when they can be picked up. They are called WAAS in the US and
EGNOS in Europe. When you see WAAS reported with your GPS accuracy, and you
are in Europe, that actually means you are picking up EGNOS, which results
in the same benefit.
Maps of course vary from town to town as do points of interest data.

Hi,
Could some of the British and Scottish members comment on the new maps for
the uk? Do you have more commercial poi's?? Does anyone know if my receiver
which gets American satelites will get good coverage. I will be in both
Britain and Scotland. Most of my time will be spent in Aberdeen. Does anyone
live in that area who has direct information?
Thanks in advance,
Judy
