In short

What has changed:

  • Difficulty of trails
  • Visibility of the trails
  • Bridges
  • Useful / interesting POIs during the hike are surrounded by a white circle to highlight them
  • POIs useful when passing through a hamlets / village / town, are pre-activated and surrounded by a colored circle depending on the category
  • Contour lines
  • Color of land and water occupations
  • Symbols of land use (Shader)
  • Cols and mountain pass
  • Information panels
  • Towns / villages / hamlets
  • Text size
  • Natural reserves
  • Ridge lines, gorges, corridors, valleys, mountain names
