Losing GPS tracking at Transition on RNAV approaches

Now that we’ve got part of the chart from @casualclick, the approach works fine. At 10 NM DME from DV (I believe thats 117.2 but you can double check me), you descend to 1600 MSL, (ATC vectored me to 2300 but left me there). Assuming you press the APR at the 10 DME point, the LOC will lock, the GS will arm since the GS will be above the midpoint and will lock when you actually intercept the GS. We all know the current ATC won’t help you get there, so unless you have the approach plate it’s just not going to be inherently obvious how to accurately run that ILS approach.
