From the document:
§ 21.9 Replacement and modification parts.
(b) Except as provided in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) of this section,
a person who produces a replacement or modification part for sale may not
represent that part as suitable for installation on a type-certificated
product.

From

All products on this site are intended for use on experimental aircraft.
Installation in a production aircraft may require an FAA field approval.

From this, it might be reasonable to conclude that the AirGizmos units will
still be okay for use in Experimental aircraft.
However, the issue of SLSA's may still need to be clarified.

FAA MAY TAKE AWAY PANEL-MOUNT OPTION FOR PORTABLE GPS

mount it.
Here's the proposed rule changes (section 21.9 is on page 31 of the 40
