    Waas increases accuracy, not reliability. If you enable waas, you not only need a signal from 3 or 4 gps satellites but also from a waas satellite. So. in my humble opinion, the chance of signal failure is higher with waas, especially as there are not many waas satellites in the sky.
    Recently I experimented a bit with a gps mouse connected to a netbook, maybe some of my findings could be of help:
    1 The signal strength indoor is far less than outside
    2 Bringing the antenna close to double glazed windows lowers the signal strength, probably due to the thin metal coating on the inside of the panes. If you don't want to experiment outside, open at least the window.
    3 Bringing the netbook close to the antenna results in (total) signal loss, keep a distance of at least 50 cm
