Can anyone that has upgraded to Garmin comment on the flying qualities of both autopilots? Trutrak was the gold standard, does the Garmin fly the airplane as well?

I ran almost all the various TT AP's over the years up to the very last Vizion, the Garmin AP is hands down the winner IMO.

Will it do an LPV ? On Spruce web site someone asked the question and the response was no it won’t work. So I’m just curious?

The 375/507/G5 setup is a great combination so far, love it! And yes, it will do a coupled LPV approach.
