There are so many Dutch people down here in Mallnitz that I’m reverting to my more base cheesehead persona. #alpenalper

Google Maps is really awkward to use in an area where the summer and winter experiences are entirely divergent.

Venues that are closed for the season are marked but only half the tips and pictures are relevant. #alpenalper

Stunning how useful a GPS dot on a scanned paper map can be and how it beats both Google and OSM terrain information.

This is the topographical map you get with a Alpenverein Pro account. The real deal Alpenverein maps are locked one level deeper at twice the price behind Pro+. #alpenalper

@alper holy smokes! I need this.

In the UK it's almost impossible to hike without ~getting hit by a car~ walking a non-trivial amount of time on a highway without a side walk.

If I had maps that show sidewalks somehow, I would be a significantly happier hiker.

@jonn That road does not really have a sidewalk. The only off thing about the app is that I can’t find a legend for the map.

@alper oh, I thought that the dotted line denotes a walking path :)

@alper (demonstrating the need for a legend).
