Post New GPS augmentation technology

Hi, all. .. .I've been reading about WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS, a sea of acroynms from which the fish of much better satellite nav is supposedly to be pulled. While it seems that these are all interoperable, I haven't been able to find out whether a WAAS receiver will be able to work with EGNOS without modification, or whether it'll have to be specifically WAAS/EGNOS compatible. You can already buy WAAS GPS in the US, but I'll hold off on the next upgrade if they won't work when EGPOS goes live in 2004.. .. .Anyone know?. .. .R
