Sander Meijer<p>Today my self-designed map came per post. The new feature (at least it was not there the last time I ordered) of uploading GPX files is super. Have uploaded the 5 routes of the multi-day hike and gave them alternate colors. Also the fact that you can add more text (left bottom) is nice.</p><p><a href="https://mountains.social/tags/SwissTopo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SwissTopo</span></a></p>
Sander Meijer<p>The SwissTopo app is THE app to have during hikes in Switzerland. Of course it features its own, best-in-the-world, maps and you can create routes, get estimates on remaining time/elevation/distance.</p><p>But of course it can still be improved. For me it would be the ability to create routes on the PC (instead of using Schweizmobil) and manage routes better. Basically a combination of SwissTopo and Schweizmobil would be super.</p><p>I met the person responsible for the SwissTopo app development today and this Saturday there is a Open House at the SwissTopo HQ and will probably go. </p><p>Which improvements would you like to see and I should relay to them?</p><p><a href="https://mountains.social/tags/SwissTopo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SwissTopo</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maps</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hiking</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Mountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mountains</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Switzerland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Switzerland</span></a></p>

Thom<p>Es gibt eine Antwort von Swisstopo. Ich hatte ja gestern dort nachgefragt, ob sie evtl. im Fediverse aktiv werden wollen, jetzt wo sie die Plattform X verlassen.
