Points Google Maps doesn't know

Google Maps doesn't know the small parking behind Santa Caterina chapel, nor the water fountain on trail 100. These coordinates, saved as bookmarks in your favourite app (Maps.me, Komoot, Wikiloc), make life much easier.

Trailhead parking

  • Marciana, trail 100 to Monte Capanne: 42.7934, 10.1726
  • Pomonte, trail 105 to Capanne: 42.7548, 10.1148
  • Magazzini, Volterraio loop: 42.8175, 10.3849
  • Cavo, GTE east start: 42.8573, 10.4280
  • Patresi, GTE west end/start: 42.7773, 10.1138

How to save them

Maps.me: long-press the point, "Add bookmark". Google Maps: search the coordinates, "Save > Want to go". Komoot and Wikiloc: add as personal waypoint.

Format

All coordinates are WGS84 decimal (lat, lng). They work in any modern app. For older Garmin units that want degrees-minutes use an online converter.
