New LP Guide for Mongolia: Lots of GPS info!
Hello all: Lonely Planet just published a new edition of their guide book for Mongolia. This is long overdue, as the old one was very out of date.
The new one has GPS data for almost all the major sites in Mongolia, so if you are coming to Mongolia I recommend buying it even if you don't bring the hard copy with you. You can load all the waypoints before you leave.
And I'll repeat what I've mentioned before: Garmin's WorldMap base map is by far the best available base map for Mongolia. If you are buying a GPS for a trip here, get a Garmin (one that can load maps). Magellan will work, but has very little in the way of roads or towns.
I've been emailing waypoints to people before they come to Mongolia, but this will be a much more efficient.
Not that I don't love you all and live to serve, but I'm only human and often all too slow to respond to requests!
