GPSS mode is just HDGing mode, with the heading bug continually tricked out by the GPS navigator to follow the magenta line, the data fed to the autopilot by the GPSS module. When in GPSS mode, you don't set the A/P to NAV HI or NAV LO or APPR modes, you set it to HDGing mode.
GPSS transforms your navigation.
