Hello there,

the glacier retreat hast accelerated since 2022 (nearly 20% volume loss in switzerland). This raises the question, if some routes in lo maps don't lead across glaciers any more. There is free satellite imigeary available from copernicus, and also maps based on it. Can you combine them? I don't want you to work 3 months 24/7 😂💪💀 but it would be nice to know if I should carry a 2kg rope and wear a harness or not. Of course you would never be accountable for my decisions.


Greets 👋

LoMaps are usually very up-to-date. If the glacier is no longer there, the OSM data needs to be updated. You can do this from home on your computer using satellite images. It's a nice project for the winter.

Hm. 🤔

So Lomaps retrieves data and maps from openstreetmap?🤔 And openstreetmap gets updated by users like you and me? Like wiki? 🤯

As far as I know, all the data comes from OSM. Thanks for your contribution to OSM.
