Trails in SwissTopo v2 are hard to see

The two images you posted are different map products. The second uses a custom drawing style, whereas the first map uses our default drawing style. Custom drawing styles are generally done as a design choice of whoever made a given map.

That is a separate issue from BaseCamp 3.0's rendering of the custom style lines, which now draws lines correctly where it didn't before, for later versions of 2.x.

To be quite honest I have no idea what you're talking about there.

The box this map came in has "www.garmin.ch" on it, it doesn't display in a usable form in Basecamp which is from Garmin as well.

I also have the Topo France product where you can nearly, almost see the paths. Only this product is also compromised as it takes completely mad routing decisions, again this is a product with the Garmin name plastered all over it running on Basecamp.

Problems with the visibility and usability of maps such as Topo Suisse or Topo France simply can't be dismissed as being someone else's problem. It's Garmin's problem or there's no point to Garmin releasing Basecamp or badging the map products.

I like Basecamp but it's seems one step forward and one step back all the time with Garmin. I really just want usable maps not to hear about it being someone else's fault.

Snowslider, I'm merely saying that this is an issue with the maps, not BaseCamp, and is thus a different issue from BaseCamp failing to draw those same custom styles. I'm going to move this chunk of the conversation into its own thread accordingly.

We'll pass your style feedback on to the creators of that map. The typical channel for getting feedback to other groups in Garmin is by contacting customer support for your area.

Thanks for the feedback; we'll see what we can do in our app to address it.

Thanks for the reply.

I think this is fixable in Basecamp. Entities like paths, roads, toll-roads, seasonal closures and so on are obviously part of the map and the default display if them is obviously down to the map creator.

But I can't see any reason for there not being an option to display those entities based on user preference like hiding them, displaying footpaths in bright orange, roads in magenta or whatever the user desires on the day.
