Cantons are shown for Friday 23 October, the day this edition compares; the weekend is not compared. Colour and number are the same figure: each canton's new postings, in five equal-sized groups of cantons. The figures are a frozen snapshot; the live Market page can differ slightly. Postings whose canton we couldn't tell aren't on the map. Boundaries: swisstopo swissBOUNDARIES3D.
