Narrative:
Went up to familiarize myself with new GPS 530 in aircraft. Home based at ezf. I went to fly the GPS runway 24 approach for practice. I believed that by staying over the river, I would remain clear of the ADIZ. I intercepted durwo intersection, performed the procedure turn back to durwo and flew approach to ezf. Got call from ezf to call potomac approach with an ADIZ violation. Have been flying with garmin 296/and now 530. Neither depicts the ADIZ boundary, yet are supposed to be sufficient for flight navigation. Class B is depicted. Other traffic was in the area. Dependence on GPS to provide airspace alert without realizing that the southern boundary ADIZ is not contained on GPS, only the class B boundary.
