  abstract = {{T}he continuous {G}lobal {P}ositioning {S}ystem (c{GPS}) network operating in the northern {A}ndes ({E}cuador and {C}olombia) for about a decade has the main objectives of quantifying interseismic coupling along the subduction interface, detecting occurrence of transient aseismic episodic slip, detailing the rupture kinematics of large earthquakes, recording long-term movements along crustal faults, as well as recording swelling or deflation on the flanks of volcanoes. {A}n opportunity to test the network's timely registry of surface coseismic offsets was provided by the 16 {A}pril 2016 {M}-w 7.8 {P}edernales, {E}cuador, earthquake whose epicenter was along the western margin of central {E}cuador, {S}outh {A}merica. {T}his large earthquake was the biggest to occur in the northern {A}ndes since 1979 and produced static surface offsets that were recorded by the c{GPS} stations operating at distances out to similar to 400 km from source. {N}ear-field stations, operating along the {E}cuadorian littoral recorded static horizontal surface displacements up to 80 cm and high-rate {GPS} ({HRGPS}) stations recorded dynamic peak-to-peak displacements reaching 2 m. {T}hese measurements, together with seismic data, revealed the southward propagation of the seismic rupture, its spatial extent, and the successive breaking of two main asperities ({N}ocquet et al, 2017). {H}ere, we provide the complete data set of static coseismic displacements recorded from {E}cuador to southern {C}olombia out to 400 km from the rupture. {N}orth of the {P}edernales earthquake's foci, in the adjoining {E}smeraldas-{N}arino segment, some patches show high interseismic coupling and rapid strain accumulation is ongoing. {I}n the 200-km-long {E}smeraldas-{N}arino segment, the seismic potential is particularly high. c{GPS} data suggest that the {E}smeraldas-{N}arino segment is likely a zone of future rupture.},
