The pilot of a Cessna Skylane was en route to an airport that did not have a control tower or weather reporting facilities. Once cleared for a GPS approach, no subsequent communication was received from the pilot. Radar data show the airplane intercepted the final approach segment and descended without leveling off at the minimum descent altitude. The airplane impacted trees and terrain about 2.74 miles from the runway. Weather at nearby airports indicated that low ceilings and visibilities were prevalent in the area.
