This is good info...thanks Greg..
"If the GPS Diagnostic View is showing “Enhanced” in the Fix Type; than the GPS Receiver it is using the correction signals from the WAAS satellites.
If the WAAS satellites are shown as black; that means that it is also using the signals from the WAAS satellites to determine its position. It only does this if it will result in a more accurate position – it does not always calculate out this way.
So, if the WAAS satellites are shown as gray (as some have posted); that means that although the GPS Receiver is able to receive a signal from the WAAS satellites, it is not actively using that signal to determine its position as it would be less accurate to do so."
