Garmin Behind the Curve on WAAS GPS VNAV Approaches

I was talking about driving the glideslope needle. Pretty much by
definition,
WAAS is going to have to drive the needle to be a precision device. On my
430,
the glideslope needle is driven (obviously) by the box, and when Garmin
talks

OK, you can do it today (legally actually) by using any IFR
approach-approved GPS of your choice plus a handheld Garmin 295 or Garmin
196. Both of these handheld Garmin units are WAAS-enabled and have an
electronic HSI page with a synthetic glideslope needle linked to a VNAV
function. You can legally use an IFR approach GPS and then you can
supplement this with the VNAV data from the handheld GPS ** as long as you
do no go below any published altitudes on the approach **.

Check the RNAV Runway 24 at KCRQ, then pass that one by us again.
