... Hi, Short answer - the Garmin 18's are configured for WAAS "OFF". Long answer - http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/kiwiosd/message/100 The configuration...
with WAAS "ON", the position precision (not necessarily accuracy) is incredible. In fact, I don't believe it, it's too good (I've seen differential stations...

... You are correct Gerhard, and you can see in his movie, how the OSD text is different to your system - the NTSC text has a slight tilt to the straight up...
Ed's ISS movie is indeed remarkable; I'll try to join him the next time he gives this a try. With the two of us separated by a hundred metres or so, we could...
I am trying to understand how the camera forms the ISS image. Even at an exposure of 1msec the ISS would have been very blurred. It is moving something like 25...
