Default LPV vs LNAV/VNAV?

Both of these options require a WAAS receiver, I presume?

Yes, and if WAAS is not available to the standards required by the specs
then the 146 box will not accept the WAAS solution, which means (using
Garmin as an example) LPV, L/VNAV, and LNAV+V will not be available;
only LNAV will be available.


Something I never understood is why LNAV approaches don't automatically
show a glideslope so that the airplane arrives at the MDA at the VDP.
