AlpineQuest & OfflineMaps

Awesome. Thanks.

However, how could anyone not want the gravimetry maps..

One small bugfix for the "Swissimage (Mosaik)" layer (max zoom 20, not 21):

The exact terms of use are now online: https://www.geo.admin.ch/en/geo-service ... f-use.html

E.g. the fair use limits:

Web Map Tile Service WMTS-BGDI wmts.geo.admin.ch 600 requests / minute

So since we're a weekend before the maps become free (https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/en/swisstopo/free-geodata.html), I though I can post my map definition file with my favourite layers here: SWISSTOPOMAPS.AQX However, DO NOT download or use it before 01.03.2021. You have been warned. :) See the com...

They say (https://groups.google.com/g/geoadmin-api/c/AVIrFTAVBEs):

They can use the free wmts.geo.admin.ch
„Fair use“ will apply —- details will communicated at ogd go live

Yes, one could read the "require any effort" part like that. But I think they mean "additional" or "manual" effort, such as non-standard products from their database, converting to some GIS formats, transformations into other systems and such. Let's see what they say in...

Hmm. Why do you think that? The (draft of) the legal text (German) explicitly mentions use of the _service(s)_ as one of the free things. I'll ask in the mailinglist.

Hello If i understand it correctly https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/en/swisstopo/free-geodata.html says that we can use Swisstopo maps in Alpine Quest officially and legally from 31.03.2021: "[...] from 1 March 2021, swisstopo's standard digital products will be available online free of charge.&q...

Mark asks in a PM: I have about 200 LDK files which I want to convert to GPX (so I end up with about 200 GPX files). I am not too techy but reading your post on the forum I think you have developed something. Is this right? If so I need to work out how to use your program on a Windows 10 machine. Hi...

In case anyone is interested, the script is here: https://github.com/phkehl/apq2gpx

Hi, thanks a lot! I haven't seen that when looking (I think) at the same file.. :-/

Hi, I think there's a bug when importing GPX files with timestamps. AlpineQuest (2.0.7) ignores timestamps in the format "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss+00:00", i.e. with the "+hh:mm" timezone specifier. This is what I get from other software. It seems it only understands the "yyyy-mm-...

Hi,

many thanks! I'm getting somewhere. Nice puzzle. I'm enjoying it!

Hi and thanks, too! I've identified the WPT and other files within the LDK format. I could probably work out the structure around it. But if you can document it, that would be easier. Thanks for the update on the TRK format. This raises another question: I have a real-world track. I extract this: - ...

Thanks, Psyberia. I've got something working for the TRK, WPT, SET, RTE and ARE files. I've noticed that the specs don't seem to be up-to-date: - There seems to be a 0xffffffff (-1?) after every {Metadata} in newer files. I have an old version 2 trk file that doesn't have that but with otherwise ide...
