Lucky you.
There are a bunch of approaches that have had the new LP minimums added. Apparently the LP minimums are considered better than LPV, so your WAAS GPS automatically selects them. I don't think there is any way to make it annunciate LPV or any approach level that gives you vertical guidance, so you're stuck with lateral guidance forever and ever now. If I'm wrong I'm sure John Collins will be along to correct me.
Since my last Garmin 28 day chip upgrade, I have noticed that when I select GPS (RNAV) it it now a LP aproach. It used to be LPV? What gives?

Interesting, thanks for the info. No, I took the OP at his word that an RNAV approach that he had flown to LPV minimums was now annunciating as LP. Since the LPV already has localizer-like lateral guidance, I couldn't see any advantage to LP over LPV unless for whatever reasons, the minimums were lower.I think you meant to say that LP minimums are considered better than LNAV. If a runway doesn't qualify for a LPV, then LP is considered. If the MDA is at least 20 feet lower than the LNAV, the LP is published. There are more than 100 of the 400+ LP procedures that the 20 foot MDA improvement requirement wasn't the policy and the LP has the identical MDA as the LNAV.
So you won't be surprised if his response includes just F and Y?
