The plate shows a catagory of "GLS PA DA", which I decode as "GPS
Landing System, Precision Approach, Decision Altitude" (with minimums
shown as NA). Is that the same as the LPV you're talking about?

No. GLS is on hold. It would be equivalent to ILS. LPV is close to ILS, but
not quite there. Here is the info in the current AIM (1-1-20):

"2. A new type of APV approach procedure, in addition to LNAV/VNAV, is being
implemented to take advantage of the lateral precision provided by WAAS. This
lateral precision, combined with an electronic glidepath allows the use of TERPS
approach criteria very similar to that used for present precision approaches,
with adjustments for the larger vertical containment limit. The resulting
approach procedure minima, titled LPV, may have decision altitudes as low as 250
feet height above touchdown with visibility minimums as low as 1/2 mile, when the
terrain and airport infrastructure support the lowest minima. LPV will be
published on the RNAV (GPS) approach charts (see paragraph 5-4-5, Instrument
Approach Procedure Charts)."
