waas doen't but egnos should. however, egnos is in early/trial stages so you may not get a fix on the beacons and just run down the battery faster instead.

general thoughts are that egnos is over-the-top for driving with gps - the extra accuracy would not make much difference to your position on a road anyway - only really helpful if you're walking on foot in the middle of the moors as opposed to on a 120m wide stretch of the m1

FWIW, I started switching on EGNOS, because on some local roads near where I live, my i3 had some minor lag in my road position WRT junctions and roundabouts.

EGNOS appears to have cured that.

Not particularly that important, and it has only really ever seemed to have had this lag near where I live - it's just that I encountered this, when first using my i3, so I was a little concerned - at the time - whether it was (or could have been something more general with the i3.
