The idea for this page came to me when I was driving through a sleepy village in the canton of Graubünden and at regular intervals a sign showed me the next location of a defibrillator. I realized, that by far not all cantons do this and that the defibrillator locations are mostly unknown.
Then I went to look for the data in my hometown and got this information. I then entered the data in OpenStreetMap and defibrillators were now maintained in my community. But I quickly began to think outside the box and wanted to know how the data stock looks like across Switzerland. When querying the data, I was very surprised by the result and I thought that this data should be used. I found two or three other maps that were more or less manually maintained. I found this method too cumbersome and wanted my card to benefit directly from community data contribution, so I launched Defikarte.ch.
The card is intended to help everyone find a defibrillator quickly and efficiently in a hectic, unusual situation.
Important: Defi's displayed in green are accessible 24 hours a day. Defis displayed in orange can be reached with restrictions or during opening hours.

The following tools are used to get the data from Openstreetmap:
Overpass API and its GUI Overpass Turbo make it easy to call up data from OpenStreetMap directly. No layer or intermediate storage is necessary for this.
Well-known endpoints for the API are:
- [Overpass Turbo EU] (https://overpass-turbo.eu/)
- [Overpass SOSM] (https://overpass-turbo.osm.ch/)

The card itself is embedded via an iframe and is actually an Umap card. The Swiss branch is managed by the SOSM.
Umap can be found here in [Github] (https://github.com/umap-project/umap)
The App is available in the Appstores.
Various press reports were created via Defikarte.ch. The mentions were consistently positive, which makes me very happy.
