Question

What impact does the recent change to the United States' WAAS GPS correction system have on my Raymarine products?

Answer

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently decommissioned two WAAS GPS satellites (PRN 122 and PRN 134), and the activated two replacement satellites (PRN 135 and PRN 138). The WAAS firmware in certain Raymarine products does not recognize satellites 135 or 138.

All of the Raymarine products affected continue to receive the standard GPS signals and therefore are safe for navigation. As always, these products are an aid to navigation. It continues to be the user's responsibility to use caution, sound judgment, official government charts, notices to mariners and proper navigational skill when using this or any other electronic navigational product.

All software updates and instructions for these products will be posted to Customer Support section of http://www.Raymarine.com.
