I have the luxury of flying behind a GPS which has a full approach

About the only piece of information that's not in the database is the
MDA/DH. For emergency purposes, I can always ask the controller. If
I'm lost comm, I'll assume the DH on an ILS is 200 AGL.


Your GPS has altitudes for all the segments and stepdown fixes on an approach?
What GPS is that?
