Sorry, but on wikiloc, where I can see the dirt paths to do with the motor-bike, in reality they are designed differently.
Here in the legend the dirt road is marked as two parallel dotted lines, on wikiloc there is always and only one line, longer brown, shorter red: has the way of indicating the paths changed?
Admin:
It has not changed, it's just that each map maker decides how to represent map elements. If you look at OpenStreetMap site, paths are represented different from wikiloc and mine.

Tracks are sometimes labeled with a grade. I can find definitions of the grades on the OpenStreetMap Wiki. However, sometimes there is also additional information in brackets, e.g. Grade2 (3 M). What do these additional annotations mean? Occasionally it will be labeled as (2.0m M), which I take it means a width of 2 metres. But what does the capital M signify? What does the number indicate?
Admin:
Grades are defined in OSM wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tracktype
The numbers in brackets means width in meters: X M. M should be lower case, but Garmin software capitelizes it. Widths should be introduced in OSM database without units, but if someone add an "m" then you'll see a double "m" in the map.

Looking at Garmin line legends. how does one (say) distinguish a sealed/paved vs unsealed secondary road?
Admin:
Hi Bob, sorry for the delay
Currently there's no way to distinguish them. In most places a secondary road is supposed to be paved, but I know that's not true in all countries.

Is there a way to reduce the detail clutter on the Australian map when using BaseCamp?
Admin:
In BaseCamp (as well as in MapSource) you can select several different levels of detail. You have to enable "Level of detail" toolbar under "View" menu.
