Hello Thomas.
Michal (OK1SIM) has put together an online map that might be useful for activation planning. You might want to check it out:
I usually activate “what’s available,” so I like that I can generate a map that aggregates SOTA, POTA, GMA, and WWFF for a target place (e.g., when I go to Austria for a trip) so I can see what’s nearby my accommodation, etc.
Fine-tuning the map results
Click on the icon with three bars in the upper left corner and select your country. Then, you can select the activities you are interested in (WWFF, SOTA, POTA, etc.).
Then click the “Rebuild Map” button and the map will show you all of the activation entities you requested.
In order not to overload the application, you can either select WWFF for the whole world (which is the default) or various activities, but only for one country at a time, which is usually enough for trip planning.
If I am around country borders, I open two Firefox windows and have two countries at once that way.

Thank you so much for sharing this resource, Michael. We’ve mentioned Ham-Map in the past, but it’s clear that it has only grown more comprehensive over time. It’s an incredible tool, and we owe a big thanks to our friend OK1SIM for creating and sharing it with the ham radio community!
MENTION
To identify the parks for POTA activations in the city of IASI- Romania, LB9HI om Mihai and the undersigned YO8CDQ om Peter contributed. This identification was made recently, after the name change from YO to RO. This is how OK1SIM made this map, with the current names of the IASI- Romania city area. Tnx Peter
