Making Globalsat BT-338 use WAAS / EGNOS ??

Hi Folks,

OK so the latest firmware for the BT-338 can do WAAS (for USA) or EGNOS (for
Europe), to enhance accuracy etc.
I can use SIRFdemo software to enable this (bit fiddly), and see that it is
indeed working. Great so far.
But as soon as I switch off the BT-338, it forgets the setting. Duh! This
isn't much use with any of the nav software.
Anyone got any ideas to make the setting "stick", or even a simple script
for PC and/or PPC to flip the GPS into WAAS mode ?

Cheers,

- Steve
