<h1>Placeholder</h1> <h1>Essential GPS information</h1>
<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 Schvartzmoosk&ouml;gel 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 H&ouml;hle and to Tunnocks's, Balkonh&ouml;hle and Organh&ouml;hle.
<h3><a href="#down">Download the data from the expo server</a></h3>
<h3><a href="#up">Upload the data to your device</a></h3>
<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).
<h2 id="up">Upload the GPS essentials file to your device</h2>
<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.
More documentation on this to follow...

<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.
