Corrections

o improve GPS accuracy, the integrated GPS receiver uses correction messages from a Wide Area Augmentation System
( WAAS) satellite, European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS) satellite, or Multifunctional Transport
Satellitebased Augmentation System (MSAS) satellite. By default, Corrections is set to Auto, so the receiver will automati-
cally use WAAS, EGNOS, or MSAS corrections according to your location. To disable all corrections, use GPS / Corrections an
