<p>This is not the page you are looking for.
|
<p>We have a regularly-updated file of all the cave entrances for the entire Schvartzmooskögel system (SMK).
|
||||||
<p>This will be replaced with the information you want as soon as someone gets around to writing it. Why not find out how to do this yourself ?
|
This file also includes the tracks of the paths we regularly take: from Loser Alm car park to the col and to top camp,
|
||||||
|
and from top camp to Fisch Gesicht Höhle and to Tunnocks's, Balkonhöhle and Organhöhle.

<h2 id="down">Download the GPS essentials file from the expo server</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
We regularly create a new version of this essential data as the expo progresses and as expoers discover new entrances and
|
||||||
|
devise new routes to reach them.
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
To get the most recent version you will need to ask someone who is competent in using the version control system
|
||||||
|
(it's in loser/gpx/ and is generated from the survex data by a script). A fairly recent copy (17 July 2018)
|
||||||
|
can be downloaded from here: <a href="essentials.gpx">essentials.gpx</a> (190K).

|

|
<p>
|
||||||
|
This is where it gets tricky because every device and phone app does this differently.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Old Garmin handheld GPS devices</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
These can only import cave entrance locations (waypoints) and paths (tracks) using the Garmin communication protocol.
|
||||||
|
This means that you need special software on your laptop in addition to a USB cable that connects your laptop to the Garmin device.
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>On a Windows machine, use "GPSbabel for Windows" which has an easy to use graphical user interface:
|
||||||
|
<a href="https://www.gpsbabel.org/download.html">download GPS Babel</a>
|
||||||
|
<li>On a Linux machine the core gpsbabel command line utility is probably already installed;
|
||||||
|
but there is no simple, easy to use graphical interface.
|
||||||
|
Instead you must use other software such as QGIS or Viking (download using your usual Linux software installer)
|
||||||
|
which uses gpsbabel to talk to your device.
|
||||||
|
If this doesn't work then there are no useful error messages.
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>Modern Garmin handheld GPS devices</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Connect the GPS device to your laptop (or the expo laptop) using the USB cable. A folder will open on the laptop showing the contents
|
||||||
|
of the device.
|
||||||
|
You will see a subfolder called "GARMIN". Open the folder "GARMIN" and copy the file essentials.gpx which you
|
||||||
|
downloaded into that folder.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3>GPSessentials phone app</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
This should work the same way whether you have an iPhone or an Android phone, so long as you are using this app
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://www.gpsessentials.com/">www.gpsessentials.com</a>.
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Visit the website and read the manual (top left, on the menu bar: "Manual") for how to do this.
|
||||||
|
Except that the manual doesn't tell you.
|
||||||
|

<h1>Installing surveying tools</h1>
|
||||||
|
<h2>Survex</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>The main software we use to process cave data and surface surveys is <b>survex</b>
|
||||||
|
which has been written over several decades by CUCC cavers.
|
||||||
|
The first version was written during the 1990 Expo in Austria in the (old) potato hut.
|
||||||
|
<p>Download the survex package here: <a href="https://survex.com/">www.survex.com</a> and install it.
|
||||||
|
<p>You will discover that the application installed is actually called "aven" but do not be concerned.
|
||||||
|
This is what you will use to visualise .svx files as beautiful cave centre-line surveys.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>If you are entering new survey data from a new cave, you will also need either
|
||||||
|
<a href="https://bitbucket.org/goatchurch/tunnelx/wiki/Home">TunnelX</a> or
|
||||||
|
<a href="https://therion.speleo.sk/">Therion</a> to
|
||||||
|
convert your sketches into actual plan and elevation presentation-quality surveys.
|
||||||
|
<h2>TunnelX</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>Tunnel was written by <a href="http://expo.survex.com/folk/l/jtodd.htm">Julian Todd</a> (18 Austrian expos since 1989). It allows the generation of full 3D models of cave passages which can be viewed using a VRML browser.
