There are a few approaches for use with your RNAV. I tried to
find some when I put the KNS-80 RNAV in my plane, but there aren't many.
I found that when they say RNAV, they usually put either (GPS) or
(VOR/DME) in parenthesis after it to clarify. You cannot use a VOR/DME
RNAV for any approach other than one published for it.

Now, that said, it sure makes it nice for quickly dialing up
checkpoints/intersections enroute or for an IAF if it's on the plate.
