For those of you using handheld GPS's when you fly IFR:

Do you use the throttle to increase/decrease power to match the ground
speed to the approach speed table so the time is correct to the MAP?

Absoutely not. It's a moronic way to do things. Only the Airbus
flight control system does anything of the sort.

Do you use the distance to the airport to determine/verify the MAP, even
though the time may not have expired?

I use the GPS to 'estimate' the winds and compute ground speed.
Because of this, my timing to the missed approach point is always
perfect .
