Trails like the Mawson trail are for hiking, and thus include walking track,
4wd track and dirt roads. Being able to download the route in GPX form would
obviously be useful. I can't see an obvious easy way to allow people to
download arbitrary routes in our main interface, because there's no way to
select objects. But maybe if at least we could construct URLs that lead to
downloading the route, then editors like potlatch could construct those
urls.

It would probably also be worth documenting workarounds, of which there must
be a few.
