My version of ExplorOz Places (2013.3) dated 31/10/2013 is I believe the latest. This is a great resource. I will be doing the Holland Track later this year. I could download a track file created by someone else. I think a better way is to search for say "holland", remove any entries not related to the Holland Track, then create waypoints from what is left. This gives the waypoints for not only the track but also all the points of interest. For this to be of real benefit the names file needs to be accurate and comprehensive. I am however finding that all the names that are shown on the EOTopo maps are not always in the name file. An example is a search for "pinnibar". I would expect at least two results Mt Pinnibar and Pinnibar track neither of which shows up in the search. What does show is "Pinnibar Gibbo Tk & Tom Groggin Tk" as a Junction and when you show it on the map it is at the right place but those names are not on the map. This is an example of names on the map not in the name file and visa versa. Is this a known issue and are their plans to rectify it?
What other people think of me is none of my business.
