From what I've heard, MIWG has mandated that pilots who wish to fly the glass cockpit C-182 are being required to have a minimum of 10 hours PIC per month to stay current on it. 

That's insane.  I hope that's funded flying..??

I suspect that someone got mixed up with that MIWG info.  From what I understand you need 10 hours of instruction in the glasscockpit before being "certified" in it.  Perhaps that got confused with currency maintenance somehow.

The G1000 is pretty fair at grid flying.

Place two points on the map.  First is the IP or entry point to the grid.  Second is the end point of the first leg.

Make your 180 degree turn and fly the crosstrack error at 1 mile (or whatever your track spacing is). 

Keep repeating the process.  The crosstrack error will keep you right on line and correct for wind.  A standard rate turn @ 90kts will put you about 1 mile downrange on the turn so it all works out pretty well and draws a neat grid too.

But that's not an expanding square.

Expanding squares are for sissys. ;)

Real men fly grids.
