I lived there for 3 years too, I love these mountains.

It's possible, but the customer didn't give us the maps, this is a joint 
Italy-Switzerland project and they have had a lot of troubles obtaining the 
maps.

Future improvements could be GPS tracks download and a routing module, but I 
don't know if they will have fundings for that.

Some technical info:
Raster map is 1.5GB GEOTIFF with internal tiles and overviews
Resource and itineraries vectors are in POSTGIS tables, the latter being an 
arc<->node M2M network
Other vectors are in shapefile format, some of them are quite heavy: level 
curves are over 700MB.

Hardware is double XEON 3GHz with 4GB RAM and SCSI disk.

Performaces are lower than I expected, this is mainly due to the huge raster 
and POSTGIS vectors being slow despite proper indexing. This is the reason 
why most layers are off by default.
