Jakim cudem się utrzymują od lat te stragany z akcesoriami góralskimi w Poznaniu przy pl. Wolności? Czy chowają koks pod tymi skórami owczymi, czy jak?

Grundlage ist eine OSM-Weltkarte - man kann also überall ein Verkehrssystem nach eigenen Vorstellungen anlegen und betreiben. Auch genaue Fahrpläne sind möglich - oder eher geplant, denn bisher scheint das in dem early access-Stand noch nicht zu funktionieren (der ich kapiere es nicht).
