Find the next seating-bench, in swiss-german called "Bänkli", for sitting down, relax and enjoy. Other categories like fire places, play grounds or viewpoints are also available or can be added - of course with pictures of it and pictures of the view. This has already been done for over 6000 points in Switzerland and other countries :-) Do you plan your next walk with your grand-parents? With the app you know in advance if there are enough places to sit down and have a break. Or you can add it to the map when you walk through and know it for the next time - or for the next user in your area. Maybe you know a special place? Just add it to the app, for the joy of others as well. Added points are not only for this app, because your work doesn't belong to us. We'd like to have those points also exported to OpenStreetMap (at the moment this is not yet possible, mainly because of the lack of accuracy of the phone GPS's). For the rest of your data we're addicted to the strong privacy needs of Switzerland. We'll not give away any data other than mentioned (like positions of benches; for details see the privacy rules). For questions, bugs or feature requests we'd like to hear from you at support@mamo.li Permissions: For being able to upload pictures we need the memory permission.
