Mapy.cz Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Windy.com: global weather website with live filters

  It is based on mapy.cz [1] - Outdoor layer. It is mostly OSM based (plus lot of their own data for Czechia and Slovakia). Mapy.cz belongs to same guy, who runs Windy (Ivo Lukačovič [2]). IMHO it is best readable map on the internet and when I am used to it, I cant find anything on Google Maps. [1] https://en.mapy.cz. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• What are these marks in the Czech Republic?

  As many people pointed out, those are hiking marks. What I didn't see anyone mention is that when you go on en.mapy.cz you can turn on "outdoor map" with all the hiking trails. The colour of the trail in map matches their specific colour on the tree/pole etc... Great way to plan your trip! Source: 10 months ago

• I would like some travel advice

  You don't have to worry about unsafe places or anything like that - just be careful about tourists traps in Prague - use only ATMs from proper banks, try to avoid small corner shops in the city center as they are overpriced etc. Check honest guide prague on youtube for more information. Use this website for public transport https://idos.idnes.cz/en/vlakyautobusymhdvse/spojeni/ you can find all possible connections... Source: 11 months ago

• Schutzhütte (interactive) maps?

  You can use a service like en.mapy.cz to display it. If you enter "Schutzdach" or "Tourist shelter" there, you should get a pretty comprehensive map of locations. Source: 12 months ago

• Jet Lag: The Layover podcast

  There are also commercial map applications that are based on OpenStreetMaps data such as https://en.mapy.cz and even in their application you can download a map for offline use on your smartphone. For example, here is the link for the lighthouse location https://en.mapy.cz/s/cebecodaba . Source: about 1 year ago

• Moving to Prague What to Know?

  Mapy.cz are superior to Google Maps in a lot of aspects. Reviews for stores, restaurants and searching for them tends to be better on Google Maps, but for actual navigation, mapy.cz are often way better, especially the outdoor map if you want to go into nature. Source: over 1 year ago

• Planning summer holiday to Czech Republic - Where to go?

  If you like nature I can recommend all the national parks. Its all mountains, lakes, rivers, beatiful forests etc. - google Šumava, Krkonoše, Jeseníky, Beskydy, České Švýcarsko, Broumovsko. They are in different parts but Czech Republic is small and if you are travelling by car its not really an issue (you can get from Prague to Ostrava which is on opposite side of Czech Republic in +- 4 hours). Interesting cities... Source: over 1 year ago

• How is cycling in the Czech Republic?

  Hey, don´t get a mountain bike than. There are flats for 15km at least in every direction. Definitely think about a cx/gravel bike - especially in the fields, there are plenty of paths with densely packed gravel/dirt which might not be ideal for road bike, but are just fine with wider tires. So unless you just really enjoy road cycling without a compromise, look into that. You can also check en.mapy.cz - paths... Source: almost 2 years ago

• What would be some of the safest countries to walk across?

  Check it yourself. Click on Outdoor layer and zoom in until you see network of red, green, blue and yellow trails. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Do you guys usually build your railways in random pieces in the middle of nowhere? (but seriously, could someone please explain to me what it is? The location is 45.6398519N, 14.2777842E. Thanks!)

  Basically yes. Its mapy.cz. Based on openstreet, just with some changes by czech company Seznam.cz. I really like their Outdoor map, it clearly shows tourist paths, which is something I dont think OpenStreet can do that nicely. Source: about 2 years ago
