Dunno if I'd call PWS "the government". Personally, I'm glad. I wouldn't want to be passing 40 people a day with heavy packs on narrow boardwalks...not sure if that was the justification or not though. When everyone goes in one direction, it feels much less crowded, too. > I sometimes use the altimeter in my Garmin 76CSx, but it's a > automatically GPS-calibrated barometric altimeter, and quite accurate. Yeah, I switched on "automatic calibration", but I'm not sure what it does. Does it just take readings off the topo map (I'm using shonky maps)? If so, isn't that cheating... > 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.
