    LittleJohn,
    The units will do that automatically (if they can track one of the WAAS satellites that is).

    If I remember correctly ...:

    2d fix means the receiver has enough data for latitude and longitude
    3d fix means the receiver has enough data for latitude, longitude, and altitude
    Enhanced means all 3 plus at least 1 WAAS satillite ...

    Greg will correct me if I have something amiss here...

    It’s tied more to the number of satellites that the unit is tracking and using. If I am remembering correctly:
    2D Fix is when the unit is tracking and using data from at least three satellites.
    3D Fix is when the unit is tracking and using data from at least four satellites.
    Enhanced is when the unit is receiving AND using the WAAS correction data.

    I agree.

    LittleJohn when mine was showing 3d fix I was still hitting my waypoints and find my structure from the bow unit. The only thing that was most noticeable was the higher numbers in the HDOP and pos error. Enhanced just gets you that much closer.
