I'm not sure if you have any influence on that?ĭon't worry I've got two trips booked to the three valleys this season.
Some kind of arrows which are more visible in the render would be very useful. Some of the problems I mentioned though, are not data related - it's just the way the data is rendered.
Routebuddy software#
Then, when I go back out there two weeks later I can test my own maps and fill in the blanks I've already contributed to OpenStreetMap so I'm familiar with the process and software and hopefully OpenPisteMap is very similar. I'll probably log it using my QStarz datalogger. :-)ĭon't worry I've got two trips booked to the three valleys this season. And these maps are 'free', as is RouteBuddy Atlas.
Routebuddy update#
The more we all work together, and add or update data to these free maps, then the better it is for all of us. I spent Christmas in Adelboden testing this out and although Ad's was well mapped it was great fun adding to the map things like restaurants, runs through the trees and other data. If your favourite resort isn't covered, or covered that well, then get out there with Atlas and get logging and mapping! It's a community map, which there isn't an equal of, no matter what data is extant in what you see. No three valleys coverage yet which is quite suprising (unless I've missed it?). The terrain doesn't really help as it's not coloured, so again, you don't know which way the terrain lies. Looks promising, but it's almost impossible to tell which way the lifts and runs run - they need arrows (there are tiny arrows on the lifts, but they're pretty hard to see). More details over at the RouteBuddy website. RouteBuddy Atlas is available free of charge in the iTunes Appstore. Then you can access the map tiles in the resort without incurring expensive roaming data fees. To cache your local ski map, simply locate your ski resort and use the 'Download and cache' key to store the map over a WiFi connection in the ski lodge or at home before you leave. Track your skiing, locate ski lifts and runs etc Once installed in Atlas, OpenPisteMap will give you a piste map with your location plotted on it. RouteBuddy and OpenPisteMap have announced the availability of free worldwide ski maps for use with Atlas, RouteBuddy's iPhone app.
