Is your GPS a WAAS capable unti? If so, can you receive the WAAS signal when SOTB? I know there are satellites over the Atlantic and the Pacific but the system is "incomplete".

My unit gets to 1-3m accuracy (legit and confirmed) everywhere I have been in the US. That takes at least four satellites of the 12 possible recieving the WAAS differential info. Can you get that type of satellite access in South/Central Americas?
