Are there any other places where you get current info on "services available" or other possibilities/probabilities regarding GPS?...

WANDERING WAAS: SATELLITE TO RELOCATE
One of the geostationary satellites carrying the FAA's Wide Area
Augmentation System (WAAS) signal won't be so stationary during the
next 60 days. Satellite owner Inmarsat will be repositioning and re-aiming
a satellite, shifting coverage to the west. The move will have no effect
on the vast majority of GPS users. That's because most pilots use just
the basic GPS signal, provided by the U.S. military. "But there may be
times during the next two months when WAAS won't be available for precision
vertical guidance," said Randy Kenagy, AOPA director of advanced technology.
"That means you should check notams to make sure that LPV (lateral precision
with vertical guidance) approach will be available when you want it." See
