JLM Mattassi |
Also
known as "red maps" or "maps 123 Entel"
(the sponsor). It is a series of maps in different scales
that cover most of Chile, with the only exception of the area
between Antofagasta and Los Vilos. Other than most road maps,
they have contour lines --information especially appreciated
by bikers. They don't get updated very frequently; some maps
have only been re-printed, some titiles have not been available
for a long time.
Maps in larger scale sometimes show tracks inside private
estates, where it is not allowed to trespass.
The maps with trekking details have additional information
like campsites, walking hours and possible dangers or hazard
zones. They are very useful, but do not have enough coordinates
to be used along with a GPS.

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.
Time ago the enterprise split and some maps are now published
under the branch PixMap in a different layout, but with same
cartographic standards.

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.

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.
Only the maps from Santiago to the south show roads of the
neighbouring contries.

Turistel Maps and Guides / Chiletur Copec |
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

Antique Maps |
These are decorative maps, with cartographic representations
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.
