Default Which GPS Support LNAV/VNAV?

As I understand the new RNAV approaches support three types of approach:

Lateral-only navigation (Basically the traditional GPS approach?)
LNAV/VNAV
LPV

Now, IIRC, only the LPV approaches *require* WAAS, while the LNAV/VNAV
approaches support use of barometrically-derived *or* WAAS VNAV guidance. I
understand that baro-VNAV is a common function of FMSs, but are there any
panel-mount GPSs out there (beside the CNX-80) which can provide this type
of vertical guidance with the necessary RNP?

I'm pretty sure the GNS480 (CNX80 with Software version 2) is the only
GPS panel unit yet certified for VNAV of any kind.
No other such unit yet meets TSO-C146a with its 5/second update rate.

Today I flew my very first LNAV/VNAV approach, but I remained in VMC.
The approach was easier than I expected.
