Indeed, the starting point of missed approach segment is well defined for ILS / 3D approaches: it is just not called MAPt at the design level. Within the scope of the thread, that acronym does not apply for ILS approaches,
The part from VOL I, quoted verbatim by BJJ, opposes the paragraphs right above it. Given the explanation in VOL II, I'd say the 6.1.5 is just worded on the sloppy side. See for yourself:
Thanks for that ref. I see that they've broken it out into a DA vs waypoint. My initial point was that all approaches will terminate at a fixed position in space. For a PA, this is defined three dimensionally, and for a NPA, 2D. I think we're all debating the minutiae, which may be confusing the OP, who needs to spend some time with his/her instrument instructor instead of having us confuse him/her.
