Question Enabling WAAS on the BU-303.
I open the GPS info app included with the receiver, set the COM port and check "enable WAAS". If I close the app and open it back up all those settings are gone. Do I have to keep the app open to enable WAAS??

I believe you only enable it in the GPS info app for the purposes of testing.

My assumption is that your GPS app such as routis will use it if you have it.
