I'm starting to really like your desertV4 theme.  Thank you very much!

There's a local urban road, highway=secondary, surface=asphalt, that appears to render as unpaved (dashed line, yellow / white).  The adjacent secondary road with no surface tag renders as solid yellow.  This is with a current OAM V4 map.

And one more suggestion for outdoorV4, if I may.  At Z14, highway=path is rendered, but highway=track (a larger path) does not.  I'd suggest rendering track at Z14 as well, because it looks odd to see paths but not tracks at that zoom.

PS, the road junctions look great in outdoorV4 now.  Thanks.

Thanks for the hint about the problem tags in the theme for V4 on your site.
I made a reference which mapsforge version support which tags that can be found here:

I really like the Outdoor theme, so thank you, especially for adapting it for V4.

If I can offer a few suggestions...

  • For some reason, highway=bridleway renders abnormally large.  For example, at N53 31.484 W113 32.897 on the OAM Alberta Canada V4 map.
  • Certain highway types, where they meet (eg, residential x service), are drawn such that they appear to be unconnected.  If you were to imagine the ways as pipes, water couldn't flow through the connection.  That's sent me into OSM a few times to double-check the data. ;D
  • There's no checkbox for boundaries and protected areas.  Given that the theme draws the name on each tile, and Locus still uses lots of tiles, this can lead to a display rather full of names.  It'd be nice to have the option to turn this off.
Thanks!

Maybe, I will adapt in the future also my existing "desert" theme.
Bernard I really hope so - desert is my favorite theme these days because it's the only one to properly differentiate between sealed/ unsealed roads for cycling. Thanks for all your work.
