Swiss Maps Are Full of Hidden Secrets
https://map.geo.admin.ch/
Herewith the map site.
I have to admit, the maps (at any zoom levels) are quite beautiful. Much much better than the likes of Apple or Google!

Help an American plan properly for vacation in the Swiss Alps. I'm going in July with my wife, we are not going to do any steep technical climbing but walking around on glaciers and hiking a lot of distance. I'm from the PNW and I think the snow/terrain is a lot different here. Scroll 👉
https://map.geo.admin.ch/ and the Swisstopo app. Great map quality and the app works fine on the go, even without mobile data. All free.
If you can understand any French or German, get ahold of one of the CAS guides - tons of good info. Check the CAS website for ideas and also https://map.schweizmobil.ch/?lang=en (or https://map.geo.admin.ch/) for hikes/scrambles/approaches (look for the red and blue=class 4 lines). This is the world's most meticulously mapped country (Swisstopo does amazing work)... I could spend hours just looking at the maps.

Free source of historical weather data for Switzerland
You have some data on https://map.geo.admin.ch/ regarding the weather / sun time / pollen / etc. but I'm not sure you can access much historical data. But Most likely they have it somewhere as an API...there is also https://www.geocat.ch/ which can help find data on geo.admin.ch.

OpenStreetMap proven to be a highly accurate map in top US cities
In my country, there is an amazing government mandated service called Swiss Topo (https://map.geo.admin.ch), which can be accessed freely. Here are some features:
- detailed maps from 1:10,000 to 1:1,000,000
- hiking routes which are actively maintained. You can create your own hiking routes, and it will estimate the time that it will take to complete them.
- historical data, like historical maps since 1864 and aerial photos
- aeronautical maps, naval charts, geological maps, ...
- basically any kind of data that you can find on maps, such as land registery, water planning, spatial planning, etc.
I am not sure if other countries provide this level of service free of charge. I would be curious to see what other countries offer on this topic.

Ask HN: Side project of more that $2k monthly revenue what's your project?
Open source GPS tracking platform - Traccar (https://www.traccar.org/). I think picking a small B2B niche is the best way to become successful. You're not going to be super rich, but you can have a good stable lifestyle business.
- Ask HN: Small scripts, hacks and automations you're proud of?

Best free Map API or an alternative to Google Maps for a React JS project

Those making $500/month on side projects in 2023 – Show and tell
A niche open source project. It's a GPS tracking system. There are a lot of proprietary alternatives, but not a lot of open source ones.
I'm making some money on SaaS and some on consultation and customization. In many cases people pay for something I can later include in the open source, which always feels nice.

OBD2 GPS tracker
I have been self-hosting my own car gps tracker for a couple of years now. I use Traccar, as server software, and then I use two gps trackers I have bought in aliexpress. I use Sinotrack models ST-901 and AT-902, they use normal SIM cards and can be configured using SMS. The ST-901 is installed hidden inside the car and connected to 12v wiring of the car, protected with 1amp fuse. The AT-902 is a dumb ODB2 device (they only use two pins, ground and 12v), just plug-and-play. I live in Europe and I pay 1 euro/month for a SIM card with 100mb of internet data. The trackers use about 40-80mb of data per month.
