Unless you used a view limiting device (hood or whatever) - and had a safety pilot to look out for you - you don't log any IF at all in VMC. It's not that hard to figure out for most jurisdictions: IF you fly by sole reference to the instruments THEN you log IF. No more, no less. For most people flying in NON-VMC is considered close enough. Doesn't matter what flight path you're trying to achieve or by what navigtional device even if it happens to be an instrument approach. If you're in VMC without a hood then it's not IF.
