Super App. Viel schneller als der Vorgänger und die Routenplanung ist ein Traum! Leider sind im Vergleich zum Vorgänger ein paar Dinge nicht mit dabei... Das wichtigste: der Massstab!! Ein Kartenapp ohne diesen ist einschränkend... Die Augmented Reality und geologische Karten vermisse ich auch und hoffe ihr liefert das noch nach!
Developer Response
Guten Tag Die Funktionen zu Augmented Reality und Virtual Reality inklusive Panoramafunktion sind geplant und werden mit einem der ersten grossen Updates folgen. Der fehlende Massstab wurde auf die Wunschliste aufgenommen. Freundliche Grüsse swisstopo
In love

I’m in love with this app. After years of trying and buying almost every other app, I found Swisstopo and joy. It actually works. It works offline. It lets you edit on the go. The UI is slick and works. These are basics but no other apps worked for me.
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.
