Garmin just added a pair of new WAAS GPS navigators to its lineup, the GPS 175 and the GNX 375, which will allow pilots to use WAAS or SBAS to fly LPV instrument approaches. The GPS 175 is a standalone certified IFR navigator offers a color touchscreen display with advanced features and capabilities, while the GNX 375 has all the capability of the GPS 175 but adds Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out, as well as dual-link ADS-B In via a built-in transponder. These two new units are perfect replacements for earlier-generation products like the GPS 150/155 series, the GX 50/55, as well as the KLN 89/90/94 series.
