Default RNAV approaches

I fly a couple of planes which have RNAV equipment installed. I feel very
comfortable using the equipment for the enroute portion of the flight. I
wanted to start flying some RNAV approaches. The closest airport with an
RNAV approach is Connersville, In (CEV). It is the new style RNAV (GPS)
approach. When I started looking over the approach plate for RNAV 18 or
RNAV 36 approach, none of the information required to setup the RNAV is on
the plate. If memory serves me right, the approach plates use to have fixes
identified from the Richmond (RID) VOR. Those no longer appear. It seems
as though the approach is only good if you have the predefined fixes in a
GPS database.

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

Thanks in advance,
Kevin
