gps coordinates
I'm new to this app and need some help. I'm taking a trip to the Grand Canyon to hike the Bright Angel Trail. I would like to mark ahead of time the GPS coordinates for the 1st and second tunnels on the Bright Angel Trail, which are before the one and a half mile rest house. Does anyone have these and how do I get this information in the future without visiting the location first. All I can find is a pdf file on the National Parks website that shows distances to those locations. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

If you are a Premium member the tunnels are marked on the NatGeo map layer. You could then create you manual waypoints. The first one is at Lat: 36.057462 Long: -112.143965 and the second is at Lat 36.058893 Long: -112.144980
If you need help with how to create waypoints just go to the knowledge base for the app you are using. I don't know if you are on iOS or Android. Good luck with your trip.

Thanks for the help. I ended up looking up the distance to each tunnel via a pdf file that had the information. Then I created a route from the start of the Bright Angel Trail to the 1st rest house. That allowed me to view the distance as I drew the route. Kind of backwards way but it worked. I will definitely plug in those coordinates, and probably end up purchasing the premium version. Thanks the time you took to respond. It is appreciated.
