Here are the official source, in this example 2 cables are visible and they are missing in Skydemon. Here you can download the *.kmz-file of all obstacles. Could you fix this please? Thank you. Chris

In Switzerland we do vary this and include obstructions whose height is at least 200ft AGL. It is therefore probably the case that the "missing" obstructions you alluded to are too small to be selected for inclusion in our charts.

Does that mean the height of the masts or the maximum height of the cable above the ground? Last week I almost flew into one of the two cables, which was really close! I'm pretty sure the rope was higher than 200ft above the ground. Chris Edited 8/22/2018 11:13:45 AM by Chris_LSZO
