Anyone could put the coordinates of the Isla Pescado here? I don´t have software for my GPS so it is useless for me to get in a format other than Wx.xx.xx and Sx.xx..xxx if you see what I mean!
Anyone around Uyuni in the next few days?

Ah Maria, no worries - don't need GPS coords for Isla Pescado. From Uyuni you go north to Colchani. Just follow the tracks straight east from town out to the Salt Hotel. From there any tour driver can tell you which track to follow to the Isla. I stayed on the tracks pretty much, figured it would cut down on the salt being thrown up from the tires. From the Isla, you follow another track back to where you want to wind up. Trying to make your own route off the Salar, you're likely to get into the mudflats that surround the Salar, so stick to the tracks to exit.
Have fun (maybe I'll see you in Mendoza?)

Reason: name of the town - Colchani!
