WAAS improves the accuracy of the US GPS system but may result in longer sync time if you have poor sky visability, like in the woods with a hand held GPS. On open lake you should have WAAS on.
GLONASS is the Russian equivalent of the US GPS system. Your Garmin can use those satellites to assist in seeing enough satellites to sync quickly and "maybe" at times improve accuracy. It is used in many handheld units and smartphones for a quick location fix. For use on the lake, it could be left on or not. I'll try it both ways near some markers.
