slabbacks,
I noted that the “Fix Type” was showing a “3D Fix” and not “Enhanced” and also that none of the WAAS satellites (46, 51, 48) were being tracked. This may have something to do with where the unit is mounted versus the direction you were heading (283 degrees (true North). You or the trees/hills in that area may have been physically blocking the WAAS satellite signals from the South. Your Estimated Position and HDOP numbers will look better when you are tracking the WAAS satellites and the “Fix Type” will change to “Enhanced”.
