Great for hiking around Zermatt

Offline map worked great for hiking around Zermatt, much more useful than the 4.3 rating it has

Great app with one critical flaw

Im giving it 2 stars for one simple reason, offline maps. You can download everything at home and think you’re prepared but then you’re in the middle of nowhere with sporadic reception and it ignores the offline maps trying to download mapping as you move along. Their suggestion is to use airplane mode (doesn’t work reliably either and why would I want to be completely offline to make one app work?). I found myself stuck without reliable map data too many times hence this review. I’m hoping you can add an option to enable offline maps trying only mode, same as e.g. Apple does in their maps. With this it will be a 5 stars app.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re sorry that it doesn’t always work perfectly and will pass this on to our developers. Kind regards swisstopo

Top Routen, bitte Dark Mode 🙏

Tolle App, die uns auf einer mehrtägigen Radtour mit Kindern super geholfen hat – die Routen sind wirklich top!

Ein Wunsch: Ein Dark-Mode-Kartenhintergrund wäre großartig, gerade für längere Touren, um Akku zu sparen. Das würde die App noch besser machen. Vielen Dank!

Guten Tag, vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback. Der Dark-Mode wurde schon mehrfach gewünscht. Da aber das meiste Kartenmaterial nur in Rasterform vorliegt, ist eine einfache Farbveränderung nur schwer möglich. Gerne nehmen wir den Wunsch aber trotzdem auf unsere Wunschliste auf. Freundliche Grüsse swisstopo

Fantastic

Great app for hiking in Switzerland and nearby

I love this app -- just what the offline hiker needs. Lets you download the entire map for an area with no limitations as long as you have storage on your phone. Easy to update the maps as well.
