Is higher accuracy coming our way?

The GPS galaxy is capable of providing much higher accuracy than we presently receive.

WAAS helps some units, but it is designed for use by aircraft rather than automobile type units.

It will take a new release of software from the GPS manufacturer to enable the new satellites - IF the GPS chip can process the signals.
