You can simply follow a VOR radial or a localizer course, or use your handheld GPS or anything else that you feel will safely take you to the field. As long as you maintain 1 mile visibility, you should be all set. If that's all you do you're not flying a contact approach, you're flying a bootleg IAP. The "contact" in contact approach is ground contact, the approach is flown by visual reference to the surface. I'm flying a contact approach when I'm cleared for a contact approach, regardless of what I use to navigate. Just because I must see the ground, doesn't mean I must use ground references to navigate.
