Your thinking that a VFR pilot crabs to maintain a track over the ground, I
guess. Hard to imagine how the same pilot would home to the same end point.
Ican track a radial, a localizer, or a bearing, but of the three I can only
home to an NDB. Homing/tracking just brings NDB/ADF to my mind.

I guess GPS has brought technology full circle. You can home to a GPS
waypoint. Just do "direct" and make your heading match the bearing.

I do agree with you that you can't home to a localizer, and homing to a
VOR would require an RMI (an instrument which I've never had the
opportunity to fly behind).
