Things you hate, dislike or annoy you when camping/bushwalki

Maps that only show the mean high water line of lakes with large seasonal variation (such as Augusta, Mackenzie, yingina). Would it be that hard to also show the usual drier season water line?

Open Street Maps (the data base OSM) only documents the high water mark... because that is easiest to determine from the tidal (or seasonal) wash up. Determining the low water mark from satellite imagery leads to disputes of where it is... Generally OSM tries to get away from disputes.

As Nic said, the relevant data (for Tasmania) is on ListMap. No controversy necessary.

That should be simple for them to get right. The data is certainly available on the LIST.

They seem to manage it with Lake Augusta

Not on OSM. Unless I've missed an update?

Yeah... OSM's fairly useless in Tassie wilderness areas. I usually use LIST Map (downloaded offline onto my phone) and have a few other sources that are also decent.

I hate it when I ask someone on the trail walking in the opposite direction how much further something is and they nearly always say it is much closer than it really is.

I agree with this... same sentiments...

How did you do that?! Something only tech experts can do?

I'm not sure if it is how SoaB does it, but there is an app called Australia Topo Maps which I have on my phone. The app has numerous layers on it, including Tasmania Topographic, which uses the LISTmap topo layer. It doesn't have all the other functions of LISTmap, but you can still get your location with it.
I don't usually use it for navigating, but it can be handy to get an idea of your exact location. I also don't pay for the premium version.
