Sorry Jay, you obviously don't use the Garmin sim for approaches. It is
pathetic how bad it is. My FSX with SP1 flying the GPS 30 into IOW (your
airport) does the following. By the way I have visited your hotel and seen
Kiwi, it is nice.

Distance showing in the main NAV screen has no decimal point showing only
whole numbers, No indication of the CDI scaling to verify the proper
approach modes are active, cannot go direct to a flight plan fix either in a
regular flight plan or part of an approach without manually typing it in and
losing the rest of the flight plan or approach functionality.

And here is a very serious error. The TO/FROM flag doesn't switch in
Holding or SUSP mode. When flying past the missed approach fix it doesn't
switch into SUSP and flip the TO/FROM to FROM, it sequences directly to a
waypoint called 1500 which happens to be the initial missed approach
altitude for that approach.

You can't customize the fields on the pages, etc, etc.. It is a poor
excuse for the real thing.

The Garmin GPS units are recreated with complete accuracy

No, they aren't.

Yes, 'fraid they are.
