This has been hashed out before but times change and I could not find a recent thread. Over the 12 years (yes you read that right) I have been building my -7 avionics have changed quite a bit. A few years ago when building my panel I installed a KX 155 with localizer/glideslope, and marker beacon receiver. I had plans to use a hand held GPS. While I have been building I have not done much flying. The other day a friend who is a very active pilot mentioned that VORs were being decommissioned rather than being fixed when they break and localizer type approaches were being fazed out and replaced by GPS approaches. If all this is true how much longer do the folks here think a VOR receivers will be worth having. I am thinking about pulling out the KX 155 and replacing it with an IFR certified GPS. Thanks in advance!
