I used the Adafruit library to send it the message
// Turn on WAAS
GPS.sendCommand("$PMTK301,2*2E");
and after that the GGA message shows a fix type of 2 where it previously
showed type 1. To see what mode it is in you can send it the PMTK401
message and it should respond with a PMTK501,2 if WAAS is enabled and
PMTK501,0 if not.
I believe this setting persists after power-down as long as you have a
backup battery installed and don't do a full reset.
WAAS only works in North America. I don't know details elsewhere, but the
PMTK313 message says it turns searching for SBAS satellites on and off.
