Legal for IFR flight? I'm not sure of the finer details. I believe you
have to have an IFR certified GPS in the panel to legally fly IFR. I think
the builder of the airplane may have the authority to approve, but perhaps
the boxes must meet certain criteria. I have a GNS430 and dual Cheltons in
my LIVP - more than covers it. As far as charts and plates on hand, I
assume that I'm legal flying with the Foreflight product for this purpose.
The Garmin 396 does nothing to legalize your IFR flying but my 496 is a darn
good tool for backup navigating in any conditions. (I spend more time
watching it than I do the LOC/VOR needles and DME for sure) - even on the
approaches.
You probably need to find out if the GRT EFIS can legally be used IFR and if
it's approved in your bird.
Hope this helps with your questions.

Thanks, John. Does that mean an iPad with ForeFlight and approaches
wouldn't be legal? I also have the GRT dual Horizon EFIS with its GPS, and
an external Garmin 396.

GNS430 seems to be the workhorse. The GNS 480 has bigger screen and more
capability (airways etc) but is no longer made and you have to wonder when
Garmin will stop supporting. Also it's purported to be difficult to use.
Those I know who have them love them. John Barrett
