FAA POLICY CHANGE VOIDS MANY IFR GPS UNITS Many previously IFR-certified GPS
receivers might now be unapproved for flying many instrument procedures due
to recent FAA policy changes, according to AOPA. On Thursday, the
association said the FAA's Advisory Circular 90-100A, issued in March,
indicates that only three GPS models -- the Garmin 400, 500 and G1000 series
-- are now legal. Other models made by Garmin, including the new GNS 480
WAAS receiver, as well as receivers manufactured by Chelton, Honeywell,
Northstar, and Trimble are listed as "noncompliant," AOPA said. The action
means up to 26,000 GPS users no longer comply with a 1996 FAA policy that
allows GPS to be used in lieu of ADF or DME. More...

Recently completed the WAAS upgrade on my 530 and came across this. For
those of us living in the fog it is a godsend!

AvWeb article says everything will be OK. Whew !

...that FAA officials had told them "this oversight should be corrected in the next 10 days." Alison Duquette, a spokeswoman for the FAA, told AVweb on Wednesday, "The FAA is working with the manufacturing community and AOPA to resolve the issues. The bottom line is that the previous allowances still apply, so the operators can still fly using whatever GPS system they have."
