Narrative:

On descent arrival to destination (pxe) ATC indicated my heading to the initial approach fix (if) anicu was off by 20 degrees. A vector was provided and I turned that heading. The vector given by ATC for anicu did not correspond with all 3 navigation sources on board. Further ATC vectors continued a path south of pxe and was in fact direct to 53A. Weather transitioned from IMC to VMC. ATC insisted I was over pxe and my navigation sources and visual showed that we were +/-15 miles south of pxe. I asked for a heading 055 degrees which was what my navigation source indicated as direct to pxe. ATC approved. As I was 3 miles from pxe I advised ATC I had the field (pxe) and was landing and canceling IFR. ATC advised I was about to land at warner robins air park (5a2). I landed at pxe.

Title: A pilot reported TRACON vectored him away from the initial approach fix at intended destination.

Narrative: On descent arrival to destination (PXE) ATC indicated my heading to the Initial Approach Fix (IF) ANICU was off by 20 degrees. A vector was provided and I turned that heading. The vector given by ATC for ANICU did not correspond with all 3 NAV sources on board. Further ATC vectors continued a path south of PXE and was in fact direct to 53A. Weather transitioned from IMC to VMC. ATC insisted I was over PXE and my navigation sources and visual showed that we were +/-15 miles south of PXE. I asked for a heading 055 degrees which was what my NAV source indicated as direct to PXE. ATC approved. As I was 3 miles from PXE I advised ATC I had the field (PXE) and was landing and canceling IFR. ATC advised I was about to land at Warner Robins Air Park (5A2). I landed at PXE.
