GPS Coordinates for Eagle Plains on the Dempster Hwy

Magnuson · 08-24-2006, 01:25 AM

Since Eagle Plains along the Dempster Hwy in the Yukon doesn't technically show up as a city or village on any map, including any of the Garmin maps, does anyone have the exact GPS coordinates?

Tap, tap, tap... is this thing on?

Perhaps this forum doesn't get used too much since I find it difficult to believe that someone around here with a GPS who has been up the Dempster Hwy doesn't have the coordinates of Eagle Plains in a saved track.

Huh. Looks like I'll have to ride up there myself to get the coordinates.

Am I correct in assuming garmin has no maps for the yukon? I want to get the north american version 8 (I think) for the Alaska trip, but dont see the yukon included

Cool! I'm planning on doing that ride as part of my Alaska trip this july. I cant get the pics to come up

Any advice for the trip up the demster? How does it compare to the dalton highway? Same rainy season (mid july) as AK?

Eagle Plains is N66 22.355 W136 43.163

I live in Inuvik, NT so I ride the Dempster all the time. I use the Canadian Map in my 276C and all the roads in the Yukon/NT are on it.
