Garmin maps for Chile.
 

Just got to Chile and have a few days to kill before my bike arrives.Does anybody know if garmin does maps for Chile and where i would go to aquire such things.Have been in to quite a few appliance and outdoor stores asking about gps´s etc but it seem no one has heard of these devices.

Hi Liam, I´ll be arriving to Santiago next Friday, my bike is already there. ..2 up heading south to Ushuaia.

I have loaded my Zumo GPS with Chile, Argentina, Peru and Colombia charts, and have an additional CD with same chart info, that i´m willing to shear with you.

I´ll be arriving from Bogotá, at the Arturo Merino Intl airport around 6:00 AM Jan 22, flyng by Avianca airlines.

Hope to see you there, my full name is Francisco Mosquera (Kico)

Best regards!

Hi Liam, i have a non-routable map for Garmin covering Chile from Calama south, Argentina with part of Brazil and Uruguay. I also have a full routable map for Brazil and a hacked routable world base map.
E-mail me if you think these might be somthing you can use.

Thanks guys i found a garmin dealer in Las Condes,about 5km from Santiago Central.I was able to buy mapping for Chile,Argentina and Bolivia,cost of $430 aus(daylight robbery).Its called Centro GPS located at Las Pastora 170 Las Condes Santiaogo.Coordinates are:S 33 24 870 W 070 35 800.These are off the website not my gps as I can´t seem to get a satelite fix on my handheld in built up areas.
I´m going to Valparaiso tommorrow to try and get my bike off the dock.My friend arrives on 3rd feb so will prob head sth to Ushuaia then.Will head north after that and do the Pan American.Will stay in touch and hopefully see you on the road somewhere and exchange maps and stories.Goodluck.

You can get these maps for free at
viajerosmapas.com

sorry you spent $430 before I could reply.

The best legal free garmin Chilean map is in Proyecto Mapear but is not complete yet, but enough. Argentina is complete at incredible level.
Another way is to buy a pirate copy of ChileStreet or NavChile in MercadoLibre Chile - Donde comprar y vender de todo. or DeRemate.com Chile - Un sitio MercadoLibre

Do you still have those maps by any chance?
