How would you setup the RNAV for either of these approaches if you don't
have the fix information on the approach plate?


All of those fixes are GPS waypoints (lat/lon). In this approach's case,
you retrieve the approach from the GPS's database (assuming your IFR-
certified GPS has the current database cycle). The waypoints on the
approach are then automatically added in sequence to your flight plan.

When flying the approach, you include the GPS and (if applicable) moving
map in your scan to determine your proximity in NM to the next waypoint.

Setting and flying this type of approach is, IMO and limited E, easier than
a VOR, LOC, or NDB approach.
