There is no need for a pilot to actual own a GPS. He can look at a

put up a web page with GPS sunrise and sunset times on it.

AFAIK there is no generally agreed upon "GPS sunrise". I'm guessing each GPS
manufacture has its own proprietary algorithm for determining sunrise/sunset.
That's fine for casual use, but I imagine regulation writers are looking for
something more standard.
