The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capability 

produces a more accurate position fix. When enabled 

(GPS set to Normal and WAAS set to Enabled through 

the System Setup Page, also the interface must be set to 

something other than RTCM mode), this feature searches 

for WAAS satellites near your location and then receives 

data for correcting differentials in the GPS satellite 

signals. WAAS satellite numbers begin at number 33 

or above and are displayed on the Satellite Page. When 

differential correction data has been received for GPS 

satellites (numbers 32 or below), a D displays in the 

signal bar beneath the skyview. It is helpful to orient the 

unit antenna toward the WAAS satellite shown in the 

skyview. To learn more about the WAAS System, refer to 

the Federal Aviation Administration Web site (http://gps.

faa.gov/). 

Because the Rino 530 relies on satellite signals to provide 

you with navigational guidance, the unit’s view of the sky 

determines how fast you achieve navigational status. GPS 

signals do not travel through heavy objects or people: For 

best results, keep the unit in clear view of the sky.

At least three satellite signals are needed to determine 

your location, otherwise the unit displays a “Poor 

Satellite Reception” message with four options:
Use with GPS Off—Select this option if you want GPS 

off.
