Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Just here to tell you that mapy.cz now has a decent 3D feature, with winter mode. 2D mode also has slope shading which I guess will come to 3D soon. It is good and rapidly improving.

Winter mode will give you a decent real view of the pistes and connections for most resorts in winter mode too.

I have used the IOS app in resort, and was just looking about booking some accommodation for a trip in march so opened it on the browser and noticed the new 3d feature. Just checked the app and it isn't there yet.

Couldn't get the 3D in either Android or the website,though it is looking pretty tidy with weblinks straight out of the app:

* Nice pointers+distance to current location & back to search target Little Angel

* Lovely zoom slider in the app, with the scale permanently visible in both Cool

*Just trying out the Winter Map thingy, but not getting 3D Embarassed
- so how might one enable 3D Puzzled
...though does have nice big fat piste lines, appropriately coloured.& zoom-able, whuch makes the marker roundels visible to uncorrected viewers

*Also got gradients, which I would guess might help with avalanche avoidance?

Outmap?
Has been mentioned here before and is quite snazzy.

[Not yet] looked at Outmap, but https://openskimap.org does do 3D via two-finger slide, but doesn't do offline maps (that I am awareness of)

There's an app named Relief Maps that I just came across. There a free version and Pro version that includes IGN maps, aspect, slope angles, 3D, downloadable etc. It looks good. Guy in Annecy seems to be the developer. €31pa for the pro version. 7 day free trial. Look them up on Insta or FB.

I've recently discovered that the view on openskimap is directly overhead only in the middle. It's most noticeable if you put a cliff in the middle and then move the map so it moves towards the edge - the cliff becomes very obvious and you can see overhangs. I was quite enraptured looking at Lauterbrunnen the other evening.

It might also explain why I've sometimes thought a run grading/percent appeared not to tally with the contour spacing, as I was expecting it to be like in an OS map.

I don't know if there is a more extreme 3D effect to be found.

Didn’t realise that!

On a mobile/tablet, in Safari/Crome/Firefox, just place two fingers near the middle of the map & move them up the screen. This “pushes” the top of the map back towards a virtual horizon, then various two-fingered gestures allow rotation & pinch-to-zoom. To return to birds-eye view, just do a two fingers in the pull down the screen.

HTH ?

Yes thank you - I've not tried using it before on my phone but it does work. I wonder if there's a way of getting that effect on a Windows laptop Puzzled

Good oh!

One could try assorted CTL/SHIFT/ALT combos with left/middle/right mouse button hold-downs… aka have a play & see what works Laughing

It’is the “modern way of IT” - once upon a time, there were manuals you could read & learn from, then they went to online help, but now it’s just muck about until you works it out…or Google (other search engines are available) until you find someone else ‘wot haz dun IT’ AND written it up on t’internet Puzzled
