Anybody who has flown jets in close proximity to high terrain like The Alps, Rocky Mountains, Pyrenees, or other mountainous areas, knows that GPS has a tendency to glitch out or become inaccurate in these areas.

Now if there were only GPS approaches available to airports in these areas that would become a problem.

redundancy, the more the better in aviation!
