I think that it's for good reason that the GPS is considered an addendum,
and not a replacement for other nav aids. There may be some point in the
future when this has changed, but it isn't here yet.

There are no nav aids required for VFR other than a compass. You can use
your handheld GPS if you want and nothing else. GPS alone may not be used
for IFR flight, but WAAS is a stand-alone replacement for all other
navigation aids for IFR.
