Alpine National Park Huts And Campgrounds Waypoints GPX file

Postby AlbinoNeutrino » Tue 22 Oct, 2013 12:50 pm

Today I created waypoints from coordinates in basecamp for over 50 huts and camp sites in Victorias Alpine National Park from a list in the spatial visions map of the Bogong Alpine Area.

I thought I would export and share it to save anyone else the tedium, so here's the GPX file for anyone who might find it useful.

Is this accurate enough for whiteout navigation?

I created the list because I plan to visit most of them, but finding the nearest refuge in bad conditions was also part of my motivation. The coordinates are taken from the Spatial Visions map (from a list on the map, not read by me from the map), and I took care to enter them accurately using UTM/GDA and checked them on the Garmin TOPO maps afterwards. I'm confident that they are accurate, but take no responsibility for their accuracy or anyones safety in a whiteout.

Here's an example of the coordinates for Cleve Cole 55 H 529174 5932147

No worries. It took an hour to do but only a minute to export and upload.

The huts are nice details to have on the garmin topo maps of the area, it's a shame they don't include it by default.

Say, will you move the Garmin mountains back to the right spot too? :lol:
