TBM G3000 RNav Glideslope Indicator

Accessing RNav enroute using the procedures for arrival.

Horizontal on FMS / Autopilot all OK.

Set Altitude Reference to 300 feet above runway altitude, and use VNav and vertical speed to pass though each of the RNav waypoints precisely. Throttle for speed control.

GP indicator is on and white.

The Glidepath vertical tape does not track the 300 feet / mile glidepath.

However, at the second-last RNav waypoint, the GP indicator turns green, VNav is cancelled and the autopilot accurately tracks to the runway and follows the glidepath at 300 feet per mile.

Have uploaded an image of RNav tracking the glidepath accurately and the Glidepath tape not displaying correctly.

Nice to have RNav working!

Detail steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

In my experience, rnav approaches are tracked direction-wise spot on, even very complex ones such as into nzqn. But I can only get the vertical aspect to work on straight rnav paths. You can select the direct to option for the last waypoint and select apr. Seems to work well.
But full rnav approach not working yet!
