Default WAAS GPS approach question.

Hello,

I read on the Garmin page that their 480 is Waas certified...so that
you can fly precision approaches without an ILS... what does this
mean exactly? If I'm coming into an airport with only an NDB
approach, can I use the 480's capabilites to fly a precision approach
and get down to a lower MDA/DH?



If the airport has only an NDB approach, how are you going to fly a GPS
approach of any sort?



In other words, if there isn't a published approach, you can't invent one
for your own use. It's not legal and not safe.
