Question about WAAS
Posted By lew block pls ca on 8/20/2001 at 8:38 PM

Rumor has it that WAAS is not available in high northern latitudes, like Washington state or Canada or Maine. Can anyone confirm, or better yet, show a map of WAAS coverage?

I hoped to be able to find a coverage map easily on the web somewhere but that didn't work. I'm still working on finding a WAAS and EGNOS coverage map.


Hang tight.

Hello Lew,

Below are a couple of sites for WAAS information. Item #14 on the first link is a "coverage map". Would be better described as a "expected accuracy" map. However this the best info page I've found so far.

Below is the Raytheon page. They are the suppliers of the WAAS birds.

Let me know if links don't work, or any other probs. Getting around to your question :-) Looks like the N-Lats are on the outside edge of the current coverage area. Best to give it a try and go from there.
