The 406 MHz ELBs will, in many many models, use instrument GPS for their
statement of position rather than a separate ELB built-in unit. Is there
a (removable) tablet that is FAA-approved for such installations?

GPS chips are so cheap these days (thanks to cell phones) that
pretty much all 406 MHz beacons have them these days. The ELTs
with external GPS are just a bad hack.

I carry a 406 MHz PLB since a 121.5 MHz ELT is just ballast and
the rentals I fly don't have 406 MHz ELTs. Smaller than my cell
phone, and includes GPS.
