See http://www.nstb.tc.faa.gov/vpl.html for a map that is updated every
six minutes. What is the 'vertical protection level' on the map? Is this the altitude (in meters!) that waas is guaranteed? If so, it looks like over 120 meters coverage is everywhere. This can't be, can it? What am I missing? From the WAAS Terms & Definitions link at the bottom of the page: Vertical Protection Level (VPL). The Vertical Protection Level is half the length of a segment on the vertical axis (perpendicular to the horizontal plane of WGS-84 ellipsoid), with its center being at the true position, which describes the region that is assured to contain the indicated vertical position. It is based upon the error estimates provided by WAAS.
