Hi,

Here in Canada, The GPS is used as non precision approach. It's used as lateral navigation (LNAV) so the minimum are highter than ILS but sometime lower than NDB. The precision is very good. In high terrain, the GPS is helpfully specially in the rocky (vancouver area).

GPS with WAAS capability is coming....

Good example is the set of approach charts of west USA in the rockies.
