Been doing GPS approaches in Canada for a decade now. With 2 more WAAS transmitters coming online in 2007 much of the southern half of the country will have limits to 250 ft. Without WAAS you can still get limits as low as 300 ft depending on local terrain/conditions. GPS will allow for some pretty good all weather access to airports where it would be economically unreasonable to consider expensive terrestrial hardware.
