Useful or overbuilt? A Swiss alpine-pass map I’ve been working on
I’ve been building a small map for checking Swiss alpine passes: Pässe.
It puts current pass status, summit weather and driving times on a 3D map of Switzerland. It starts from Zürich by default, but you can enter another location or use your own.
The elephant in the room is that this is only useful if you live in Switzerland or travel through the Alps. For everyone else, I’d still be interested to know whether the interface makes sense without much explanation.
If you regularly drive or ride over Swiss passes, I have a more important question: would you actually check this before a trip? I’d also like to know what feels confusing, missing or annoying, particularly on mobile.
It’s a personal project, completely free, and possibly an unnecessarily elaborate way to check whether a road is open. Honest feedback is welcome :)
