Narrative:

The new tipp toe visual to sfo has an intersection called chera; which is not in the FMS database and has no way of identifying it via ground based navigation aids. Also; it specifically states to intercept runway 28L localizer when in fact we were cleared for the tipp toe visual to runway 28R. The chart says nothing about intercepting 28R localizer; and it tells you to fly a 310 heading after chera (which you can't identify).
