TrekkingChile / VíaChile Editores |
It is a publisher that had only recently begun working with
the edition of maps of Chile in different scales, from general
maps to detailed ones for trekking. Continuously, new titles
are published. Most of them show both UTM coordinates and
Lat./Long. for use of GPS. According to the scale used, they
have special information for trekking and mountain bike purposes.
All new editions are printed on "stone paper", an
artificial paper, waterproof and tear resistant.

Aoneker / PixMap |
A
serie of maps made by a group of cartographers and mountaineers.
They cover different national parks and mountains in both
Argentina and Chile. Excellent geographic information, contour
lines and relief, with grid and coordinates in UTM and Long./Lat.
(WGS84) plus magnetic declination. They are very good for
trekking purpouses and can be used along with a GPS. They
show regular paths and also some less used, but not all
maps include campsites and times for walks.
Some maps were published under the branch PixMap in a different
layout, but with the same cartographic standards. New maps
are now published with both names.
This
company offers the possibility to buy "maps on demand"
of areas that are no of massive interest and don't justify
a commercial printing, or if a previous edition is sold
out. They are printed by units and are about 50% more expensive
than a normal edition. Of some of these maps we have a few
copies in stock, others we can get within 2-4 weeks. At
the bottom of this page we put a list with some titles.
Please ask us for more details or other possible areas.

Compass |
It is a private editor in collaboration with the IGM (Instituto
Geográfico Militar). Published at the end of 2010,
this new collection of road maps covers Chile in 9 titles.
They are printed on both sides on Polyart, a low-waste, water
resistent and antireflex paper. The scale of 1:400.000 (1
cm = 4 km) allows to show roads with reasonable details. They
don't use contour levels, but a very realistic relief gives
a good idea of the terrain. Coordinates for GPS use. Different
symbols indicate touristic attractions. A great help is also
a complete index for finding determinated sites.
At the end of 2013, Compass started a collaboration with the
Chilean gasoline company Copec and prepared a new edition
sold as Chiletur Copec/Compass. The only difference is the
folding and all Copec service stations are highlighted. The
remaining stock of the previous 2013 edition is sold as a
special offer.

Andes Profundo |
It is a new series of maps specially
meant for climbers, mountaineers and off track skiers. Its
principal characteristic is that shows in different colors
the mountain slopes. It focuses on the main part of the
hill, in a very handy small size, which fits into a parka
pocket. The scale varies from 1:20.000 to 1:35.000 according
to the map. They are printed in a very resistent and waterproof
special paper. If you want to use it along with a GPS, it
shows the coordinates of key points like summits, refuges,
end of vehicle roads and so on.
Right
now there are available maps of all the volcanoes in the
regions Araucanía and Los Lagos. Other titles are
still being worked.

Chiletur Copec Guides (formerly known as "Turistel") |
The road maps that come with the Turistel guides (now published
as Chiletur Copec) are regularly updated and are, usually,
very accurate when it comes to road information. They are
published as a booklet, cutting Chile from north to south
in several pieces. The scale is bigger in the central zone
(more detailled map) and smaller in the country's far ends.
Some editions include relief, but no counter lines.
The guides also bring larger maps of touristic zones, and
very useful city maps.
In 2009, the Copec fuel company bought the publication rights
and edits now the guide as "Chiletur Copec". They
are almost the same as Turistel (they used the same material),
being the main difference the lack of publicity for hotels,
stores, agencies, etc. In the maps, only Copec gas stations
are mentioned

of South America from the 17th and 18th centuries. They are
printed in thick linen paper, which makes them easy to frame
and hang on the wall.
