Will the SkyView system be WAAS enabled?

Will there be any form of vertical guidance for approaches? ::)

The receiver we sell is WAAS, which simply means it can use the WAAS correction to improve accuracy. That technical capability has nothing to do with being able to fly LPV and similar IFR GPS-based approaches. For example, your car GPS probably has "WAAS" capability, but you can't fly an approach with it, either. In the future (someday, don't know when), we might do some VFR vertical guidance, but since an uncertified GPS is never legal for IFR navigation in the USA (vertical or horizontal), it's not a high priority. However it's legal for us to display navigation from a certified GPS unit, so we'll be starting there for sure.
