Does anyone know where I can access GPS points for the Overland Track? I don't plan on using them, but thought I might store them in my GPS in case we get a big dump of snow!

There's a few options towards the bottom of this page that might help:

Excellent, thanks Woka.

Does anyone know of a free software application to get a heap of waypoints into a Magellan? OziExplorer is quite expensive considering I would probably never use it again.

Hi
I also tried to get the gps points from this website but it doesnt seem to work? It just comes up with the walks introduction screen??
Does it do this for anyone else?

Cheers
