Garzotto GmbH

Swiss Pro Map, the map app for Switzerland and the Alpine region.

Swiss Pro Map is a versatile and rich map app with many useful features and functions for all outdoor activities, mountain sports, hiking, biking and aviation.
The focus of "Swiss Pro Map" lies on offline data and numerous functions and features, which are especially needed by professional users.

Swiss Pro Map is the successor of Swiss Map Mobile. With Swiss Map Mobile, Garzotto GmbH developed one of the most innovative and successful map apps in collaboration with swisstopo starting in 2008.
Since the official app of swisstopo, which is now available, will no longer be developed by us after a new tender in 2019, we have decided to continue to maintain the app independently of swisstopo and under a new name. A significant number of users do not want to do without the possibilities and features of Swiss Map Mobile. We have therefore placed the app on a new technical basis. While the usability and design have been modernized, the existing functionality has been retained as far as possible.

 

 

Pflotsh is a joint project of Kachelmann GmbH and us. Under this label, we publish a number of useful and high-quality weather apps.

Because there are already a lot of weather apps, our ambition is to provide the most accurate weather information and the best forecast models in specific apps.

With our app Pflotsh Storm we have succeeded in developing one of the leading for apps Storm Tracking within a very short time. The app provides the most accurate observation data for severe weather and precipitation in German-speaking Europe, South Tyrol and Luxembourg.

 

 

Pflotsh SuperHD is breaking new ground: besides the best weather model it also indicates the uncertainty in a weather forecast. By comparing with the next best models, you can see whether or not you can rely on a prediction.

 

 

On our pflotsh Website you will find all our weather apps: Pflotsh Tropical with worldwide information on tropical weather phenomena, Pflotsh ECMWF with its wide selection of global weather forecasts from the ECMWF-Model, as well as the two derived apps Pflotsh Beach and Pflotsh Sail with weather information for sailors respectively for holiday weather.
