Dear editors of "hribi.net"
This year marks 11 years since the opening of the AC connection Ljubljana-Maribor, so every time I click on the map next to a particular trail, I get mad when I see outdated maps, without the AC drawn in, without local roads drawn, without or incorrectly drawn forest roads and last but not least the mountain trails drawn. Too often it happens that the drawn trail is not marked on the terrain and of course vice versa.
Similar problems occur also with "mountaineering" maps bought in retail.
The problem is not simple, because as far as I know with "reprints" of maps, they simply take the copy-paste process.
How do the others see this issue?

julius, at the very least it is very annoying and misleading and as you say, the problem is already with the map publishers, as they have quite multiplied lately.

This is democracy - youth born after 90 don't even know what a geographical map is. Some have GPS even for walking around Ljubljana so they don't get lost! Hiking maps are 40+ years old - important that the covers are nice - content doesn't matter! Who will bother with this anymore.

Reambulation is demanding and expensive, so nobody does it often. The PZS trails layer on Geopedija is incomplete, but it was updated last year (together with the published maps).
If the lack of AC bothers you, you can switch at the top right from the topo Quo base to the GURS one from 2014. It won't be the same scale anymore ...
If someone has too old maps and doesn't know what to do with them, they can write to me at ZS.

Does anyone know why the PZS guys changed the drawn trails (Geopedia) from red to green? Are we imitating the Austrians here, or does red not suit someone again? Then they will have to change the Knafelj marking too. Personally, I think red stands out more on every map than any other. I still use maps because I am of an older generation, but it is true, as the predecessors note, that maps are not updated on reprints and are deficient.

Why do you all have such problems with ideology? No wonder we are where we are, when you see a political conspiracy in everything.
All trails are green, when you mark the desired one, it turns red. Much more practical than having all trails red and then chaos on the screen.

@felix, green ones are easy, orange demanding and red very demanding. So yes, most are really green. Who collected the colors, I don't know...

Outdated maps are a big problem also in mountain orienteering. According to the rules, all competitions use the DTK 25 map (State Topographic Map 1:25,000). The last reambulation (of certain areas, the rest even older) dates to the year, I think, 1996.
How many new forest roads were made in that time and old ones abandoned, everyone can imagine themselves. Especially big changes happened after the pre-alpine ice storm. Well, on the Karst many firebreak cuts were made in the last 10 years.
Also green (forest) and white (meadow) areas often don't match. In 20 years, forest has overgrown in many places, while it was cut in others.
But as long as the Ministry for the Environment says there is no money for updating these things, it will stay as it is. Unless other maps start to be used. But then the problem is which ones.

Why can't the map be opened for individual hikes? Am I the only one with this problem?
