I made an interactive map for the 25,000+ trigonometric points of Greece (I made an Interactive Map of Greece’s 25,000+ Trig Points)

Hello to everyone in r/greece!

I am an engineer and I have always had a love for the maps and history of topography in Greece. Many may remember the old site, trigonometrika.gr, which was a fantastic resource for the trigonometric points of the Army Geographical Service (GIS). When I saw that the site was no longer active, I decided to make something new so that this effort would not be lost.

So in the last few weeks, I made from scratch the vathra.xyz

It is a free, open-source, and interactive map depicting all 25,000+ historical trigonometric pedestals throughout Greece. These small concrete columns, often found on mountains and hills peaks, have been the backbone of the country’s mapping for decades.

What you can do on the site: 🗺️ to see all the points on a quick, mobile-friendly map (with satellite and topographic view). 🟢 See their status with color coding. 📍 Find your location and the closest to you. 🔍 Look for specific points with their code or name. ✍️ contribute! This is the most important. If you are a hiker, explorer, or simply find one of them accidentally, you can log in with your Google account, upload a photo, update his status, and add comments about access.

The project is a personal endeavor and the code is fully open (AGPLV3) in GitHub.

I would love to hear your opinion, ideas for improvements, or if you find a bug. The purpose is to make a living file for this small, forgotten aspect of the Greek countryside.

Thanks!

TL;DR (in English): I built a free, open-source, crowd-sourced map for the 25,000+ historic trigonometric survey points across Greece, since the old community site for this is down. You can see all the points, check their status, and if you’re a hiker/explorer, you can log in to upload photos and report on the condition of points you find. I’d love to get your feedback!
