Meet you at Lago di Garda

 

(note – german translation on the website as always)

Well – this time the news are not much. Over the last weeks I’ve been mainly bugged down by various administration tasks and only updated little things on the maps.

E.g. today I went through all of the plugins of this website and tried to replace all those that were not updated anymore – sometimes quite tedious to find proper replacements…

 

So actually I’m happy that summer is over – and for me now the quiter period of the year (till February) is starting…

 

Therefore I will be cycling 5 days at Lago di Garda starting Friday Morning till Wednesday.. Would be happy to meet up with some people – also maybe some Italians living in Trento? I know you’ve been mapping mtb trails around your area from my last trip. I’m open for anything from S1 to S5 (only condition singletrails downhill – but does not need to be very difficult).

So good news for your next trip to Scandinavia. Hopefully soon viewfinderpanoramas.org will update the data for the Alps too – then I will of course also update the contourlines in the Alps.

 

Also I went through openmtbmap and velomap websites and made sure no more broken image links are present anymore. So the map legend and the screenshots are updated (lesson for me – never upload any images to image hosters – or expect them to be deleted after a couple of years).

I'm thinking of upgrading the layout of the websites end of this year – but still some time to go.

 

Lots of work on removing obsolete fixme=incomplete arrows in the maps. Now  it should really only be used if a highway is not fully entered in OSM database and also some […]
