A guide has been written on another forum, predominantly the ILS approach:

Feel free to ask, here or there, if you have any questions.
Note also, that I did that approach in a commercial multi-engine jet so aircraft less advanced will consequently have less steps in the ILS procedure and general approach procedure |

Whats the purpose of the NAV/GPS switch. I know it switches between them, but Ive always wondered what each does... |

The GPS switch slaves the NAV button on the MCP primarily to the GPS. If you have a flight plan entered on the GPS and you press NAV on the MCP and have GPS selected on the NAV/GPS button then your aircraft will navigate along the waypoint shown on the GPS.
If you have the button selected to NAV, the MCP is slaved to navigational aids such as a NDB, VOR, ILS. The APP button on the MCP also works off the NAV selection.
In short, GPS is just for following the GPS routing. Any other use can be done through the NAV selection. |
