I need the latitudes and longitudes

You could probably run those through a converter. I got those figures from LittleNavMap.

However SAWT and SAWR somehoe don’t exist in SkyVector…

What a great and beautiful flight! Patagonia is truly an amazingly beautiful area. Some good talk in Discord as well, and quite a bit of Top Gun discussion.
