Algeria

Year: 2003 Format: 13x21 Pages: 286 Photos: b/w A sort of technical manual for those who want to organize their trip to Algeria with the aid of a satellite device. Inside the guide you will find all the information on how to use a GPS, on how to prepare your motorbike or 4x4, on how to drive on sand as well as first aid and treatment notions on the major dysfunctions that can occur in desert environments. The central and most important part of the book proposes numerous routes - including some trekking - which range from the well-known smugglers' tracks to the mythical and unexplored Erg Chech complete with technical reports described using a large quantity of waypoints, i.e. geographical coordinates, recorded via the global positioning apparatus, the GPS. To be able to retrace the same itineraries it is necessary to enter the geographical coordinates into your GPS with absolute precision. Carrying out this operation manually, in addition to requiring a lot of time, can lead to typing errors: this is one of the reasons for the attached CD.
