Should I enable SBAS

[dannyoneill]

Hi, new to the whole GPS thing.

I have just got wayfinder for my Sony Ericsson and noticed that the Royaltek RBT-1000 supports SBAS. I know this CAN make things more accurate but what are the ups and downs of enabling this?

Also, is EGNOS all up and running here in the UK.

Many Thanks

Just try it - as you correctly state it can only makes things better, not worse.

Somebody recently posted here that EGNOS is now live - that sounds too good to be true but hey - it's worth a shot.

SBAS reception is best in the southern UK - the bird is sitting over the equator after all.

does it cause lag when driving at speed? I have only seen SBAS mentioned when using XTrak which can cause lag but no mention of it when using NEMA or whatever it is.

SBAS has nothing to do with XTrac ( apart from the fact that most chipsets are not powerful enough to support both ) and will not cause any lag.
