True. But if there is a fix in the approach that is defined by a distance
from something that is in the GPS database, you can use that fix and the
distance from it as a substitute for the LOC distance. That works, but in my
opinion does require advance planning to calculate the relevant distances
from that fix and write them down. It's way too easy to make a mistake to do
the figuring in real time during the approach.

Yes, you may, but you have to aware that the GPS may not contain the LOC
station in its database. VOR stations should be fine.
