Mark,
   I have GPSS on my S-Tec = 55.  It=20 was wired in when my panel was built, so that part of it wasn't = something I had=20 to deal with.  One important thing is to make sure the = converter=20 you get is compatible with your GPS.  The GPSS converter = was=20 designed using ARINC RS-429 format.  That wasn't = compatible with=20 the Apollo GPS I have (GX-60), = which requires RS-232.   UPS=20 and S-Tec worked together to make the necessary software and hardware = changes so=20 they would work together, but it requires a specific model of GPSS=20 converter.  S-Tec can tell you what your avionics=20 require. 
   After using GPSS, I can't = imagine not=20 having it.  Almost any time I go anywhere, I use GPS waypoints, so=20 I never use VOR tracking.  It was definitely worth putting in=20 - it's worked flawlessly and I highly recommend = it.
