WAAS 35 Moving (Another Reset?)



Now that 35 is moving on 2/1 does that mean that when it arrives I'll need another reset on my Garmin 76S? I hope not. It will arrive at it's new position by 4/1. When it does it might be stronger than 47. Then I might want 36 and 35 as my WAAS sats. But because of Garmins firmware once I lock on 2 sats it won't look for anything else unless I reset it. My 2 favorite WAAS sats now are 36 and 47. I guess to test the new 35 I'll have to reset unless there is some way of knowing the above the horizon elevation of 35. They mention the move to 142 degrees which is good for US but the elevation looks low. I don't mind a reset it's just that with all these sats now I wonder how GPS units will deal with all this. We will have a choice of 4 different sats when this is said and done. So my theory is that in a few months I will do another reset and let the strongest signals win! Unless Garmin comes up with a firmware update to allow reaquire of WAAS then this will be my plan. I foresee my WAAS ending up being 36 & 47 or 36 & 35 depending on 35's new above the horizon position.
