Had this today on GPS...much better. Fix Type went to Enhanced and other two went way lower. Have some video but still working on it reference to that new spot I went too. Thx for the info.

LittleJohn,
The units will do that automatically (if they can track one of the WAAS satellites that is).
If I remember correctly ...:
2d fix means the receiver has enough data for latitude and longitude
3d fix means the receiver has enough data for latitude, longitude, and altitude
Enhanced means all 3 plus at least 1 WAAS satillite ...
Greg will correct me if I have something amiss here...

2D Fix is when the unit is tracking and using data from at least three satellites.
3D Fix is when the unit is tracking and using data from at least four satellites.
Enhanced is when the unit is receiving AND using the WAAS correction data.
I agree.Quote:

LittleJohn when mine was showing 3d fix I was still hitting my waypoints and find my structure from the bow unit. The only thing that was most noticeable was the higher numbers in the HDOP and pos error. Enhanced just gets you that much closer.
LittleJohn,
Where were you fishing that the unit’s GPS Receiver could not ‘see’ the WAAS satellites? Were you next to an embankment, mountain or trees? The WAAS satellites are to the south.
Greg,the lakes I fished do have tall mountains on them. The error pos was at 2ft much had been getting good signal though.
