Been done more than once.

You don't fly down final approach looking at the GPS map, especially on a good weather day.


Chances are you look out of the window get the aircraft configured and position and land on the suitably aligned and marked runway.....

There easy back-ups (tuning up the ILS if the runway has one), and at airports where there might be confusion there''s often a warning in the airport plates...
