I need a handheld GPS that works in South America...namely for trekking Tierra Del Fuego, Torres Del Paine areas. Is this unit capable? Other suggestions? Thanks!

This unit is compatible, though finding maps may be somewhat difficult. There may be third-party map solutions available, or you could be more adventurous and go with Garmin's WorldMap, which will give you some detail, at least enough to know your general location on the many available detailed maps of the area (there is definitely a topo map of the Ushuaia area, which is a good sign).
