47 N. To clarify: the GPS works fine but WAAS wasn't too useful in this 
area.

https://www.garmin.com/en-US/aboutgps/waas/

"For some users in the U.S., the position of the satellites over the 
equator makes it difficult to receive the signals when trees or mountains 
obstruct the view of the horizon. WAAS signal reception is ideal for open 
land and marine applications. "

I haven't experimented in a dew years but I can turn WAAS/GLONASS on or 
off and I never saw any improvement. Trees and mountains are part of my 
life.
