OSM track thanks

Hi all,
I'd just like to say a big THANK YOU to all those that contribute to OSM, specifically in Tassie. I just got back from a trip where I used OSM tracks on my GPS extensively. Whilst I have little doubt we would have found our way with the paper maps, compass and common sense, it would have been much slower and we would have have a good deal more doubt about our location and direction of the track. At times the tracks (Lake Myrtle, Jackson Creek and Moses Creek) where indistinct and hard to follow. The OSM track was bang on at all times, meaning when we walked off the 'track' we knew very quickly. Brilliant.
The combination of GPS and the OSM tracks made the trip so much easier and safer in my view. So thanks!
