Default IFR with a VFR GPS

What other navigational system is used once the aircraft is cleared for a
GPS approach?

Given that the aircraft struck a tower that was
very nearly on the FAC centerline it appears that navigating the approach
course was not a problem.


The presence of the GPS may be irrelevant to the cause of the accident, but
it is completely relevant to my original point that a pilot may be tempted
to use a VFR GPS as the sole means of navigation, legal or otherwise.
