From my military background I carry my Global Positioning System (GPS) unit on my big trips to help out. Google Maps is able to show the aerial view (map data can be anything from a few months to several years in the past) in countries where an address may not resolve. Either the minutes/seconds notation or the decimal version I have listed second should be able to be used in the search box of http://maps.google.com

Consulate:
+31° 44' 43.00", -106° 26' 55.00"
31.745278, -106.448611

Hotel Los Cedros:
+31° 44' 23.82", -106° 26' 35.16"
31.739950,-106.443100

Other locations could be added to this short list I have so far. The thread could even be placed in the Resources section once a little more complete. I know for our stay at Los Cedros I was trying to place where the Consulate was (even though we didn't need to go there on this trip) by my GPS unit, without having the benefit of looking at it beforehand on Google Maps.

I think I have a few spots in CDJ marked as well in my GPS. I will have to look and post there here as well.

My Google Map is populated pretty well by now: http://maps.google.com/?mid=1211925093

It is possible to get lat/long positions with some work for the locations, but just seeing where everything is in position to other places is good too...

Hope that helps...

I'm not sure of the question, are you wanting lat/long information for some of the places? When you click the link to e-mail the information it does give the lat/long position in the URL address. Sometimes you have to "walk it" around a little to get things exact.
