You can certainly navigate TO ROYCE without being established on
the localizer, however.


Vectored, maybe but not navigating.


Why not navigating?

Even without a GPS, you should be able to navigate from 4mi SW of ROYCE to
ROYCE using VOR/LOC and DME (and situational awareness).

With a GPS, there is no problem.

Without a GPS, what you will lack is positive course guidance. But I don't
see where, in the definition of "navigation", that PCG is required.
