Thank you very much for this research. I am surprised that we have not met in that rabbit hole. I first got interested in this when trying to see how close I could match the coordinates obtained with an hour of data collection using my SXblue II L1 GNSS WAAS unit to a USGS monument on a nearby

Hi, https://sxbluegps.com/sbas-made-easy/ This could help understand WAAS. To my knowledge, all GPS signal broadcast with the latest WGS84 CRS. WAAS should use this CRS (when using static point and shoot mode). I imagine that if you used gps satellites and Glonass, then the gps unit must

Hi Jeremy, as far as I can remember, the CRS of waypoints is by default EPSG 4326, no matter what you change in the settings of the device (changes just alter display of coordinates on the device). But I haven't touched a garmin for ages (yuk!) and do the stuff with my phone. Your garmin seems

Hi, I was wondering if GPX files contain CRS information? I saved some waypoints in my garmin gps and then used GPSBabel to upload those waypoints to my computer and create a GPX file. The map datum on my gps was set to GDA 94. Does my GPX file contain the CRS that my GPS was set to when I saved
