🏔️ Big Freemap update for outdoor folks — and anyone with map files!

🗺️ The file import now takes multiple GPX/GeoJSON/KML/KMZ/TCX files at once & merges them; elevation profile & details work for multi-track and interrupted recordings too
🎨 Colorize tracks by elevation, speed, steepness & more
📈 Elevation profile now shows waypoints with labels
💾 Save tracks to your My Maps
🔬 Keeps every recorded channel (HR, power, temp…)

Vorige week vrijdag kwamen collega’s uit 25 gemeenten samen in het stadhuis van Zaandam voor de #QGIS-gebruikerdag voor gemeenten. We deelden praktijkervaringen met QGIS, terwijl Zaanstad zorgde voor ☕🍪 en 🍦 bij de borrel.
De diversiteit aan QGIS‑toepassingen blijft verrassen: van dataverrijking tot slimme visualisaties voor data‑gedreven werken.
🏛️ Dank aan #GemeenteZaanstad voor het hosten!
