I have asked for this in the past, and may have reported on it at some point, but wanted to share an experience with the group. Earlier today my dad and I flew from 7FL6 to X35 and did the GPS 23 approach into Dunnellon. This approach is a non-WAAS approach, but when activated on the 430W it reads "LNAV+V". When close to the final approach fix "JOLCO", we just hit "mode" to activate GPSS and then "alt" twice to activate GPSV and the TruTrak Digiflight II VSGV did the rest until the flare. Even while dropping the flaps it kept the needles almost centered and quickly got them back to the center. Other than that, it nailed the center of both needles all the way down to the VASI's, one red one white the whole way down.
Most of this to encourage those of you who have the 430W or 530W to utilize this feature in your TruTrak vertical steering GPS. I know a lot of other units have been able to do this for a while, but getting it from possibly the most common GPS in GA is a great improvement.
The technology advances even in the short time I have been directly involved in aviation are amazing.
