Default What are considered Nexgen Avionics?

I am filling out a job application and one of the "checkmarks" is related to amount of time operating aircraft with "next generation avionics".

I can't find a good definition of what aircraft equipment would be considered "Next Generation" equipment.

Opinions on what would qualify? Also is there such a thing as "next generation" compatible equipment be considered "Next generation avionics"

I have looked on the FAA website and understand about Performance based Navigation and RNAV procedures but I am still confused about what type of equipment would be defined as Next generation that is onboard an aircraft.

Does a Garmin G1000 come close?

Since it is a checkmark it would obviously improve the application but at the risk of asking a stupid question I don't want to look ignorant on an application.

Any ideas?
