Never Get Lost Again!

A Vietnam Oasis Exclusive
Vietnam Oasis pioneers the use of travel-site GPS coordinates

Like most non-Western nations, Vietnam has loads of addresses that don't mean much to non-residents. It's common for numbering schemes to stop as a street name changes, then start up again a few blocks away. Often, addresses on one side of the street have nothing in relation to those on the other. Street names can change arbitrarily.

From the back streets of Saigon to the country lanes of Hanoi, finding addresses can be a horror.

But not any more. We make it easy for you by giving you GPS (Global Positioning System) coordinates for many hard-to-find spots. By utilizing a hand-held GPS device, you can walk, ride, or xiclo to any of a number of fascinating spots you might ordinarily miss. We suggest you buy your GPS device in your own country, get familiar with it, and bring it to Vietnam. Our GPS venues will have coordinates listed in red at the bottom of the article.

Bottom line: Vietnam Oasis GPS points work today with your handheld device, and will enhance your enjoyment of Vietnam.
