What was the cause of that crash? Was the VFR GPS giving erronious
information? Was it hard to use, not being attached to the plane? Was
the pilot unfamiliar with the device? Was the approach even in the
database?

The NTSB determined the probable cause to be the failure of the pilot
to follow the published instrument approach procedure resulting in an early
descent into the tower. Why conclude the pilot believed he was someplace
other than where he was? Why is that more likely than just a descent below
the MDA?
