swisstopo for free #swissmaps
exciting news for outdoor-lovers and friends of swiss nature. today swisstopo published its maps completely free on the internet. it’s like google maps on steroids. almost the same interface, more details. all 193’000 landmark-, mountain- and city-names are searchable (resolution up to 1:25’000). over 70’000 km of hiking-trails are waiting to be explored: yellow = normal hiking trails, red = mountain trails, blue = alpine trails.
swiss daily newspaper “blick am abend” covered the story today. online too.
you’ll find the swisstopo-map here and the hiking trails here.

Way to go.
That’s exactly why my “blog” Gee-Jay.com is written in English since April 2000.
