Default Garmin 530 WAAS?

How are they going to provide outbound guidance in a hold, and make proper
allowance for wind, while allowing a standard rate turn to inbound?

Thanks to the certification and AML STC approval, owners of Garmin's
popular GNS 400/500 series panel-mount avionics will be able to upgrade
their products to meet the FAA's WAAS standards* without a field
approval**. These upgrades include 5 Hz position updates, faster map
redraws, fully coupled and guided procedure turns and holding patterns,
and increased XM weather content. Pilots will also experience
significantly enhanced functionality because of the WAAS LPV, LNAV/VNAV,
LNAV+V, and LNAV approach capabilities.



Coupled procedure turns and holds? Why is WAAS an enabling factor for
that?


I don't read where he said WAAS is the enabling factor for track-guided
procedure turns or holding patterns.
