Hi,
we are not the map data producers – LoMaps are generated from OpenStreetMap data (Openstreetmap.org). If you need to mark an error in map, use OSM notes in Locus menu or go to OSM website directly (you can become a OSM mapper yourself, it is an open community). Michal, Locus team

In reply to Peter.

Hi Peter,
Locus Map uses services of third parties for routing – BRouter or GraphHopper. According to our test, none of them provides XC skiing routing profile. Therefore, only the manual mode is the way of planning routes along ski routes.

Thank you very much for the excellent wintermaps! I have question: How can I let the path with the routeplanning tool stick on the crosscountry skiing slopes / routes? I have not managed to do so. Any ideas? Thank you, Peter

Dear Sebastian,
the problem was in “SKI” relations that weren’t shown till the latest version (2018-01-04) of LoMaps. It’s fixed now.
Thank you
Petr

In reply to voldapet.

Dear Voldapet,
Thanks for the info. Having updated the software didn’t improve things, but updating the map (LoMap offline) made it in fact work. The track in question is now rendered blue (in ski map view).
Just for completeness in case someone else has the same issue, the object in question was for example:

Way: 41390692
….
Tags:
“highway”=”track”
“surface”=”asphalt”
“tracktype”=”grade1”
Part of:
Relation: Rennsteig Skiwanderweg (3850936)
…

This wasn’t rendered as ski-track (i.e. blue) even though it was part of a route with the appropriate tags i.e. the route “Rennsteig Skiwanderweg” has the tags

piste:difficulty=intermediate
piste:grooming=classic
piste:name=Rennsteig Skiwanderweg
piste:type=nordic

As of the new version this seems sufficient, i.e. being part of a relation with the above “piste:” tags.

Thanks for the help, really enjoy Locusmap!

In reply to Sebastian.

Dear Sebastian,
I hope I can understand your question. The relations and ways that have only piste:type=nordic are also shown in LoMaps (with internal themes). Please check that you use the latest LoMaps in version 2018.01.04. For this version were added also all routes with piste:type=nordic tag. Is there any route that isn’t shown in the latest 2018.01.04 version?
Thank you

What are the exact criteria for ski tracks to be rendered in Locus map (i.e. Asamm LoMaps)?
It seems insufficient for the an associated route to be tagged with piste:type=nordic etc. (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Piste_Maps).
Rather, the actual tracks seem to need the piste tagging. I couldn’t find any source where to look that up properly. Thanks!

In reply to Sylvain. Hi Sylvain, so far, Swisstopo provides only topographic maps in Locus. Michal, Locus team

For people interested about ski touring in Switzerland, you can download the KML file “Skitouren als KML-Datei” from the Skitourenguru website at https://www.skitourenguru.ch/index.php/download

Unfortunately Outdooractive for Switzerland is not available in the Locus Store.

What I’m mostly interested is if there is a way to see the ski and snowshoe routes from Swisstopo in Locus (offline or online). Is it possible? Can I buy these routes? It would be great. Thanks
