swisstopo Customer Insights

1. Ability to use route planing is great! It would be nice if one could add new waypoints easier (e.g. dragging current route) and set hiking trails as priority (avoid roads).Great app, but it's really struggling to download maps with a weaker network coverage.

2. The maps are great though, of course.Offline map are really working randomly, as soon as I want a bigger map, it's seems to freeze at some point, as the download status isn't displayed in percentage, it's difficult to know, but I tried several times and it's stays on more than 1000 min for days.

3. Route recording is very unstable: I couldn't manage to record more than 30 minutes before the app crashed and lost all the recorded data.Some major functions available in the old app missing here.

4. Is missing the quality of the mapsSeems to be working again! Nice one šŸ‘ App isn't working anymore! Always saying missing data! But I have full mobile data coverage.

5. I'm really missing the ability to pause or continue the download from offline maps.

6. Shows bus/train stops, kiosks, huttes, water,... Very big thanks for the developers and the maintainers of the up-to-date, quality maps.

7. By the way, did all the usual android problem solvers but none helped.Looks sleek&shiny, but this sleekness comes with the price that you can't zoom out with only one hand... Kind of unpractical if you're standing somewhere in the Swiss Alps and it's -10Ā°C.

8. It really wasn't able to download maps, even with good coverage.

9. (This issue seems to be known for a couple of years.) ... In addtion to public transport, drinking water spots would be very helpful.Best tourguide ever! This app is top-notch! Incredible help on my runs.

10. Downloading offline maps does not work, or at least not for larger tiles.

11. Now details get lost in long tours.Great app for planning and touring of any tipe.
