For the Freizeitkarten Project maps, there are various designs (illustrations) that make the map look very differently.

A map of a given release and a design file of this release belong together. If they don't match probably some elements are wrongly displayed or not shown at all!


Different map styles - the visual appearance of the card is strongly influenced by the design used. Bern, the "capital" of Switzerland - left the default display "freizeit" and on the right the high-contrast design "small".
