Not much time, I looked into it and changed some code for charging stations. Can you give me some charging station positions?

BTW. As not exactly a friend (rather the opposite) of eBikes in MY FORESTS AND hills 😜😜, this is a tough job for me.

In a not so distant future
moving POI handling from each & every theme back into the core app would simplify each theme

Well, it's a matter of theme organisation to be able to show/hide poi (optionally all at once, and efficiently).
For me it's about poi being useful. If they're just printed into the map, and their display depends on priorities and other factors, that's not always useful.

"On my hike, I am exactly interested in a) benches, b) shelters and c) peaks and d) everything related to tourism (i.e. a whole category), please display that" - that's what I wish and what I think is just a very natural approach.

I have a suspicion that the "show all" style Lopoint system is technically not ready for filtering, or maybe it's having performance implications.

Yep. Users don't know what search term to use and if no result, there will be doubt if maybe one should use another search term or if the pois just don't exist.

Testing themes on top of oam map, turning on/off theme options, zooming in/out - Locus loves to crash especially in bigger cities with many poi, like Dortmund. Anyone?

eg Voluntary theme at zoom 21 here: 51.51327183, 7.46400446

Press minus for zoom out a few times, boom ctd

In a distant future my preference would be to have the theme display no poi and LM display hand picked categories of lopoi.

Highlight LoPoi is now perfectly solved.

The configuration ui has improved.

I talked about it. Menion, how about a checkbox "Display only the highlighted POI types"? Unhighlighted then... It would be a massive improvement if LM lets us precisely define what POI to display. Too much stuff on the map otherwise.

So then we would have:

a) Show ALL and highlight SOME
b) Show SOME

Ah and will this be ported to offline Lopoints?

Werde ich mich mit befassen. Es fragt sich, ob e-bike-charging in OAM ist... ich hatte schon mal geschaut, irgendworan ist es gescheitert. Vielleicht nur ein svg icon...

OK, now I understand the approach of the online Lopoints, it still displays all types, but highlights the ones we want, imo in an exaggerated manner.

I'd prefer to have it only display what I need. Only a user defined set of lopoint types, displayed the normal way (the size is user defined in the options anyway). And nothing else. Eg, in the forest, often I am not interested in the numerous springs, which there are plenty.

And in case of user hand picked display of lopoints, the question arises if Point Alert should notify about those. IMO yes.

BTW bottom panel doesn't open on some lopoints, eg tap this one: 51.431595, 7.938974

v1.4.8b

• Renamed to "Bold waterways", all waterways are included by this. Increased visibility.

Serious track search issue.

Track title: Sauerland-Waldroute
Working search: sauer
Not working: waldr

Well after all I am a hiking guy, with a dog, and I use my theme and implement what I need.

v1.4.8

• Option for "Bold streams"

In summer, you may not want to overlook water sources for your dog. It's exaggerated and thought as a temporary option.

Will add an option to strongly display streams. Interesting in summer, being out with the dog.

Menion, do you have plans in mind as for the new Lopoint display management? IMO user definable sets are heavily needed (obviously chosen poi depend on the situation) and of course someone 😁 will later want to see this reflected in the preset system (or Android Intent, or both) for the typical automation reasons.
Also, the offline Lopoints need this new system  as well.

Ein schönes Theme (wirklich gut gemacht!), leider sind die Karten ziemlich inkompatibel zu den übrigen User-Themes, die idr auf OAM oder Lomaps basieren.

"Hiking junction networks", kann es sein, dass sie nicht funktionieren?

Das heißt, Du läufst den Markierungen in der Landschaft nach und suchst sie aktiv? Das finde ich unpraktisch. Geschmackssache. Da gibt es dann wohl verschiedene Herangehensweisen... ich laufe nach Navi - den Weg, den ich plane.

Ich gebe auch etwas weiter an Mitläufer - einen gpx-Track 🙂 Karten aus Papier waren nie meine Welt oder ein Maßstab, zugegeben.

Ja, diese Wegkennzeichnungen sind technisch in der Mapsforge-Welt problematisch. Für mich sind sie nicht wichtig, ich konzentriere mich auf Tracks und beachte draußen im Wald diese Markierungen gar nicht.
Ich will andeuten dass mein Eindruck ist, dass sie in der Community (auch der Theme-Autoren) unpopulär sind.
