MAP is not used for centerline guidance. That's what the LOC needle is for.

What the MAP is good for is checking to see if your track is parallel, divergent, or convergent. From that you can make small adjustments.

Pitch attitude and heading are primary attitude instruments. Ground speed, VSI, MAP, N1's, etc, etc, are for fine tuning. ILS needles are the judge/final decider.
