Look to the AIM, not the manual. 1-1-20(j)(3) makes it clear.

I've been doing most of my GPS flying with a CNX-80, which doesn't seem

The GX-60 manual isn't real illuminating on what you're supposed to do
at this point. Presumably, "continue the approach as if nothing
happened" would not be smart (although, being VFR, that's exactly what
we did last night).

So, what do you do? Ask ATC to hold someplace in the hopes the RAIM
warning goes away as the satellites shuffle around? If so, how long
would you expect this would take? Does the controller know enough about
GPS to understand what I mean if I tell him "I've got a RAIM alert"?

He's probably ask you why you were worried that it was raining? :-)

Seriously, good question, and I haven't seen this addressed yet in
anything I've read. Must be in the fine print somewhere though.
