Flew my first GPS approaches this morning...
Wow!!! Easy and precise!
I was flying a 1997 C182S with King KLN 94 GPS and UPSAT MX 20 moving map
display.
The moving map has a lot of lag during a turn, but fly the OBS and you go
right where you are supposed to.


The IFR GPS is a great tool, John. But be sure you put the effort into
mastering it so that you know how to handle the exceptional conditions.
It's not a good feeling to have something unexpected happen on a GPS
approach and not know how to make the box navigate.

A useful guide is in the AIM:
