Maps for Overland Track

Is the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair map enough for the overland Track? Or do you recommend getting all of the topo maps for all the sections?

I believe that the OLT Map will cater for your trip unless you want to go Off Track.

The standard Cradle Mtn Lake St Clair national park map is fine for any of the main tracks in the park, including the overland track, and tracked detours off the OT to locations such as pine valley. The 1:25000 maps are only necessary if going off-track.

BTW, I'm going to move this topic to the Overland Track forum (in the Walks in Tasmania forum).

I get all my maps laminated and roll them up. Works for me.
