How to use the maps

Depending on screen size the maps have a list of locations beside or below the map.

The trail (red) has a number of icons along it pointing to points of interest. Zooming in will show them in more detail. Tapping on an icon will enable a popup with an image and or information

Tap the green heading at the top of each list item on the right/bottom side of the map to open an information/location popup on the map. On small screens scroll back up to the map after tapping the heading.

The profile graphs at the bottom of each map are map generated and show land surface, not the track surface (tunnels & cuttings) through the terrain.

Dragging your finger/mouse across the profile graph will move a dot locator (red round icon) along the trail on the map.

The maps have popup images which show the main creek crossings.
