I've just Emailed you a field notes file from Cacheberry, which also emulates the format for Colorado and Oregon units, I hope it's of some use.

I like the idea of tying it in with the OpenMaps and the integrated logging. Looking forward to the V1.0 release and further progress reports on the website. :) This is looking like a great piece of software.

I would like to streamline handling trackables, but haven't implemented anything yet. That’s a good point. I would like to streamline handling trackables, but haven’t implemented anything yet.

I'm thinking something like a 256x256 16bit grayscale image, with each pixel corresponding to a height (say +/- 32768 metres). Maybe with a secondary monochrome mask tile for the voids. There is a nicely cleaned up dataset out there, but it's not compatible with the OSM licence, so I'd like to kickstart making something that is. As for maintaining a map rendering, yes it's a challenge, but managing large datasets is my stock-in-trade :) Just to be clear, the sort of tiles I’m thinking of wouldn’t be suitable for using directly under a regular map render.

If producing your own cartography, then good luck, but we aware that maintaining it all is a very big commitment to make - I've tried it myself in the past.

Will endeavour to fix the series in the coming weeks, and it's a nice summer walk... Two of the locations for that series have problems with caches disappearing.
