SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The GP-320B is a GPS receiver with WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) capability.

WAAS, available in North America, is a provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite Based

Augmentation System) navigation system. CBAS provides GPS signal corrections to SBAS

users, for even better position accuracy, typically better than three meters. There are three more

SBAS providers, MSAS (Multi-Functional Satellite Augmentation System) for Japan, EGNOS

(Euro Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) for Europe and GAGAN (GPS And GEO

Augmented Navigation) for India. The illustration below shows the coverage area. (Accuracy

may be affected when using a GEO satellite not within your current location.) This manual uses

“WAAS” for these three providers generically.
