Yes you should enable WAAS on your GPS. A fixed ground site in the general geographic area with known coordinates receives the GPS signal and calculates instantaneous errors. Correction data is then broadcast which your GPS unit uses to improve accuracy. This will add a small amount of time for your GPS to sync.

Not all GPS units have WAAS enabled by default.
