Marketing - Tourism & Travel / Hiking | | Spanish term or phrase: marcados con GPS sobre plano digital | Here is the complete context, part of the promotional literature for a ski resort's summer activities:
Senderismo
La estación contará con diferentes recorridos señalizados, de dificultad y longitud diversas. Se trata de itinerarios diseñados por profesionales de la montaña y marcados con GPS sobre plano digital.
My hurried translation was "These routes are designed by mountaineering professionals and digitally marked out with GPS." I would like to get some feedback on this however as it appears in two places, this "marcados con GPS sobre plano digital."

\"GPS mapped\" would be a concise way of describing it, however, I think it suit better in a technical context.
