I can't recommend actually taking your new GNS480 into IMC
until you've become pretty familiar with it, though.
Spend some time with the Windows simulator to get comfortable
using the menu structure. You'll need to learn where everything lives.

I have started to read on how to use the 480. It is a very long learning
curve,
but nothing that I cannot handle. Give me a few months and I will have it
down
pat.
I never would get myself into a situation that requires IRF approaches
with the
480 until I have it mastered. Still have my VOR and ILS.

The big thing that I find most people do not understand is how to fly the
missed using the GPS. It is not intuitive, but once you understand how to do
it makes flying the missed very simple.
