Default IFR with a VFR GPS

Yes there is. RAIM provided integrity. As long as no signal error
exists (vast majority of the time) then your assertion is basically

If I have my Garmin 296 on a roof mount antenna and I check its distance
to a VOR station against my DME, then do an IAP within 30 minutes, or
so, of that check with 6, or more satellites in view, I have essentially
as much integrity as an IFR box with RAIM.
