Perhaps, but the reason for my reference to the accident in this thread
was
to support my point that the possibility exists for instrument-rated
pilots
to use a VFR GPS as the only means of navigation. It is unquestionable
that this accident pilot did.


That's unquestionable only if the VFR GPS was the only nav gear aboard the
airplane. I think that unlikely. Since the aircraft struck a tower which
was only slightly off the FAC there's no reason to believe a navigational
error contributed to this accident.
