Amen, Bob!
A Foster RNAV 511-G came out of my airplane when my CNX80 went in!
(Admittedly, a KLN88 Loran came out at the same time, though.)

I feel your pain. Since the FAA lumped GPS, Loran, and VOR-DME into =

one
basket labelled RNAV, I have been going nuts trying to keep my books =

up to
date. The KNS-80 and its ilk are still around, so I have to discuss =

that
kind of RNAV, but because there are so many approaches labelled RNAV =

(GPS),
the potential for confusion is there. It all boils down to the fact =

that if
you can fly a random route using any one of the three, you have RNAV.
