VFR GPS and WAAS

[Sunfish]

Just a quick "heads up" that I thought might be helpful for some people. If you have a WAAS enabled GPS, disable the WAAS feature now.

We don't (yet) have WAAS capability in Australia, but the Japanese have launched, and are testing, a satellite that I understand will beam WAAS in our direction. As these are test signals, their accuracy is unknown. You could possibly get some very haywire GPS readings while the bird is being tested.
