I live in Switzerland and until proven otherwise, I think we have the best cartography in the world. map.geo.admin.ch and the Swisstopo app are absolute treasures to plan hikes.

At the moment I am trying to plan a hike in France where I cannot use the swiss map. I have tried several layers of Openstreetmaps but I don’t find any that seem as good to show the relief, the walking paths, public transport stops and type of terrain.

What is your go-to cartography option?

    Catch my block list. ✌️

    Not gonna keep people in my feed that just complain for the sake of being contrarian. Have fun with your shitty app.

      lol so no list then. Alrighty. For anyone else coming here, don’t use caltopo. This person is most likely working for them. Unable to give a list of reasons why you should use the application, blocks people who ask why, and thinks that free apps that need no login are worse.
