How Low Can You Go....

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.

Thanks for the info, Slickcraft. I threw WAAS on and, for the first time, the last red buoy coming past Bryant's Point (towards Greene's Basin)--which was recently moved in, no doubt because of the low levels--actually showed to my left. Certainly much more accurate than when off.

Does anyone know if there's a way to change the location of buoys in GPS systems or if it's only via the maps software?
