The data are available in either a .loc (TopoGrafix) format or a .gpx (GPS Exchange File) format. Waypoint data sets are also available in .tpg (Topo from National Geographic) format. I use the ExpertGPS software from TopoGrafix (www.expertgps.com) to display and modify the routes and waypoints. NOTE: There is no guarantee that that the GPS data presented here is accurate.

Therefore, parts of the collected routes can be inaccruate due to weak or lost GPS signal. The Ozark Highlands Trail Guide by Tim Ernst, divides the trail into eight sections. My trip along section 5 does not include the route between mile 87.8 and 89.0 as traveling this part of the trail required crossing the Little Piney Creek, which was uncrossable due to high water.
