    Global GPS antenna are pre-configured. The receiver will work out of the box, and for most applications, little user set up is necessary. When powered for the first time, the IsoMatch Global GPS antenna will perform a "cold start," which involves acquiring the available GPS satellites in view and the SBAS differ- ential service.
  • Page 11 This includes the Space Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), such as the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and the European Geo-stationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS). The IsoMatch Global GPS antenna is compatible with each of these differential services in addition to Hemisphere GPS' patented e-Dif.
  • Page 12 WAAS is a free service of the FAA that allows regular GPS positions to be improved to a DGPS level of accuracy. Tests using a IsoMatch Global GPS antenna have shown better than one -meter accuracy. WAAS is available everywhere in the U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. It can also be picked up in some of the border areas of Mexico and Canada.
