WAAS Geostationary Satellites Servicing Canada

Updated 2011/11/17


The form below can be used to calculate elevation and azimuth to each satellite from any Canadian location. Latitudes and longitudes should be entered as positive numbers without any preceeding letter ("N" or "W") or trailing ° . The longitudes of the WAAS satellites are:

WAAS 46 PRN 133 = W97.7°
WAAS 48 PRN 135 = W133.1°
WAAS 51 PRN 138 = W107.3°
as of 20110506 (link)

Mouseover of icons on the Google map below will give you the WAAS and PRN numbers or the city name. Clicking on each satellite icon will bring up a balloon with complete details of each satellite while each flag icon will show the elevation and azimuth to each satellite from that location. Inactive (out of service) WAAS satellites are shown in red.
