My original Holus 236 FW would not allow WAAS to work, however the latest version with some help installing it from a Treocentral member and it enables itself automatically. I love watching Geoniche suddenly show D3D. :D

Of course the opinions are out about if it actually helps or not, but I figure as long as it doesn't *hurt* at least I'm getting what I originally paid for, anyway. WAAS was a big push in the Holux 236 for me. I haven't regretted the purchase (18 months ago, maybe longer) but was a little aggravated when I finally realized that WAAS was disabled.

I'm considering upgrading to a unit that does what the 236 does, in addition, it would do waypoint tracking independently and also while in bluetooth use. IE: It could be collecting waypoints by itself, then I want to use it with Geoniche for a while, but it continue to track waypoints so I could download a contiguous track later.

I have a small fun project I want to do with something like this, it'd just be nice to do it all in one place. I think there's a few options, I just haven't explored them in any great detail yet.
