This seems to be a retrograde step, compared with a conventional ILS which has a published procedure for returning to the approach from the beacon. I wonder why they chose to design GPS approaches in this half-baked way, which can't make life any easier for ATC, or pilots. A standard procedure could be programmed into the GPS, whereas this requires it to be reprogrammed on the fly, depending on the instructions from ATC.
