That was tongue-in-cheek on my part. I just love the government telling me which direction I should walk in. > Lol - is that what the "ele" tag is. Oops.

I sometimes use the altimeter in my Garmin 76CSx, but it's a automatically GPS-calibrated barometric altimeter, and quite accurate. Otherwise, I just look it up from several sources and get a rough consensus. > I dunno, I don't think the Overland really has a particular track > marker, does it?

Orange triangle is the present standard according to: http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/file.aspx?id=6789 Red is the nearest colour available from http://topo.geofabrik.de/symbols_en.html As they say, the symbol (if used) should approximate the one walkers will see on the track, or be otherwise meaningful rather than just looking nice.
