What is WAAS?
GPS receivers have an accuracy of about 15 meters, but you can get to as close as 3 meters with a WAAS-enabled receiver. WAAS stands for Wide Area Augmentation System, which is a network of satellites and ground stations (in North America) that were designed to improve the accuracy and ensure the integrity of information coming from GPS satellites. Originally implemented by the FAA for aviation use, WAAS is particularly useful for serious outdoors enthusiasts as well as for precise in-city navigation.

This review is from: Magellan 750NAV Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

This is the navigation system that Hertz car rentals uses. I rented one of their cars equipped with the system in the summer when I was visiting family in Canada for a week and it made my trip so simple. I had no idea where I was going, but I typed the address into the quick spell address feature, and I was off. The voice told me when my turn was coming with incredible accuracy, and if I missed any turns my route was re-routed instantly and I was told where to go from there. I never had to look at the screen. It even told me where there were rest stops and places to stay. At one point I was in the middle of nowhere, dirt roads and all, and the system still new exactly where I was and when I should turn. I was never lost once my entire trip, and that's quite a feat for me since I get lost everywhere I go. I have never seen such an amazing GPS system and I could never purchase anything else now that I've used the best.
