The Atlas of Switzerland Version 3 can now be downloaded as well, and the website is easier to use with a keyboard and screen reader.

New Features

  • Downloads start faster and run directly in the browser, which shows the progress.

Fixed Bugs

  • The image gallery no longer crashes after scrolling and no longer briefly jumps to another image when switching images.
