Ditto GPS Approaches in UK. Or lack of.
I use an aircraft in UK, which in the USA with our avionics kit, (Includes dual WAAS approved GPS sets) is able to carry out RAIM monitored, GPS LNAV/LPV letdowns, (approx Cat1 ILS limits) to over 1500 rural airfields.

Using EGNOS over here, we have a let-down to our strip with FAP and MAP fixes/GPS co-ords, measured on the ground under the flyover points.
This brings us within the strip width every time at our MAP of 500ft AGL.
This procedure is only used in VMC of course.
