→GPS and Electronic Map
The trail is mostly unmarked, partly not visible and only smaller fractions are documented with maps. Therefore a GPS is essential for navigation. In addition an electronic topographical map is recommended.
We used a Garmin GPS with the Garmin TOPO Chile Deluxe electronic map. The topographical profile, rivers, lakes, road and towns are precisely mapped. Only smaller streams, smaller lagoons and some trails are partly incorrecly placed on the electronic map. Garmin now offers a electronic topographical map that covers all Chile, Argentina and Boliviaand with this all Patagonia. The price is just slightly higher price than Chile only. This map is probably the currently best choise for this trail and furture trail extensions to the south that will incorporate larger sections on Argentine soil.
