I might trust one of those a bit more than the handheld versions. At
least they have RAIM.

The handhelds do put a very large X over the screen when there is not enough
data. I personally think the handhelds are pretty conservative in their
depiction parameters. If you never let any yellow areas show up, you've
given yourself at least a 1,000-foot cushion.

That said, I almost always fly under IFR at night unless I'm doing practice
approaches.
