The Flight Deck / GPS Arrival and Departure Procedurs

Do I get to choose which departure procedure I want to do, or is that something that is sort of randomly assigned by ATC?

Ok - flying RNAV DPs is the only way to proceed with departure without radar vectors (most of the time) correct?

When i go to create/load my own departure procedure, how will i do that without coordinates? All of the RNAV DPs i've looked at so far don't have coordinates next to the waypoints.

Thanks for all your help

I'm new to the large VATSIM community, and so far I love it!  However, there is one area I'm struggling with...

I typically fly GA aircraft, which usually come standard with the Garmin GPS 500.  I've been trying to figure out how to program the departure procedure into the GPS but cannot figure it out.  After some research, I think the answer is that entering a departure procedure into the stock GPS 500 is not possible.  I'd rather not constantly rely on radar vectors - I want to be able to fly departure procedures on my own.

What do I have to do for this to happen?  Are there GPS upgrades I can get, or does it require a payware aircraft?  Once I'm able to figure out how fly DPs and STARs by GPS, I think I'll feel much more comfortable in the VATSIM world.

I appreciate the help!
Thanks,
Ryan
