 <<Does the company advertise the unit as VFR only?  Does it put in =
approaches?
  Does it do RAIM or Integrity checks?  Does it use WAAS for =
corrections? Does
the position solution update once a second? five times a second?>>

The company does not advertise one way or the other but the sytem is =
usable for both VFR and IFR depending on the equipment that is driving =
it and the aircraft in which it is installed.  The system is not =
certified but OP is pursuing certification of a similar system.

Approaches are included in the database, as are SIDs.  The Company is =
working on STARs.

RAIM integrity checks, update rate and WAAS capability are GPS =
functions.  GPSs are installed in the display itself and in the AHRS.  I =
don't know if they do RAIM checks or what their update rate is but they =
are not WAAS capable.  The system can also be driven by one or more =
external GPSs, in which case WAAS capability, update rate and RAIM =
checks will depend on the GPS being used.  OP offers its own remote GPS =
which is IFR TSO-able, WAAS enabled and very expensive.
