Default How wide is an NDB approach course?

What is the protected area under an NDB approach course? Since the
course guidance is cruder than an ILS, I'd expect it would be wider, but
how much wider? I ask also in the context of when I should consider
myself "established" on course (for purposes of descent).



If, when reaching the MAP, you are in the same city as the airport you
count yourself luck.

With an RMI you might be somewhere in town. With a fixed card you might
not even be in the same county.
