<p><b>Don't be misled by the apparent simplicity</b> of the tracks.

<h3>GPS for prospecting</h3>
<p>This is much harder to get right than you think. Read our <a href="/handbook/survey/gps.htm">dedicated page on locating cave entrances</a>
<p>When using your phone for prospecting for new caves, or refinding old entrances, there are two further useful files that you should consider downloading:</p>
<ul>
<li><a download href="gps-essentials/entrances2024.gpx">entrances2024</a> - location of all known cave entrances.</li>
<li><a download href="gps-essentials/kataster-boundaries-as-tracks.gpx">kataster-boundaries-as-tracks</a> - these are <b>not paths</b> but separate areas with
different mapping designations.
These are the smooth, curved lines. They are used by prospectors when naming new caves.</li>
