<h3>Software</h3>
<p>Long-standing Expo policy is to retain absolute control of all software and all data. So we use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software">FOSS software</a> and we store data in text files not in a database. You can use other software on your own machine if it is format-compatible and exports data in the formats we want, but all the recommended software here is open source and please don't install proprietary software on the '<em>expo laptop</em>'.

<h1>Essential GPS information</h1>
<p><b>SAFETY</b>. Everyone gets lost on the plateau. Don't get lost for long as this causes rescue plans to be initiated.
So get this essential data onto your phone (or handheld GPS).
<p><b>SAFETY</b>. Turn on <b>location tracking</b> in Google Maps (or OsmAnd) before you leave the car park and share your location with someone you know at basecamp and also with someone you know at top camp. This will show your last known location if you walk into an area of bad signal.
<p>
We have a regularly-updated file of the wiggly tracks of the paths we regularly take: from Loser Alm car park to the col, top camp and Homecoming cave,
and from top camp to Fisch Gesicht H&ouml;hle and to Tunnocks's, Balkonh&ouml;hle and Organh&ouml;hle.
