Themes - Vector maps / Re: [Theme] VanLifeMapV4

« on: Today at 01:10:10 »

@martin - can you please explain the difference/ advantages of your theme compared to other existing themes?

It reminds me UniGCcz theme for MFv3 maps from PAWS site.

Where routes profile "river"?

As the names gives the hint, it routes along  OSM mapped waterways. But it is rather experimental and cannot be used for serious navigation in sense of desired navigation line.

Navíc hodně pomáhá, že nové Androidy mají vyhledávání v nastaveních, což hledaní toho pravého místa hodně ulehčuje.

This probably applies to both LM3+4, but  I mostly use LM4 as I got used to it.....

I have set ON the map scale switch in Settings/Maps/Auxiliary graphics.

The scale is displayed on the main map screen, but not during navigation, where I often miss that. Should not navigation screen honor the settings as well ?

I remember there was a similar issue with the planner screen in past. The scale was on the bottom, in contrary to the main screen, and there it was covered by the stats bar.

@poutnikl
... I personally prefer to download less data & spend a little more time by merging than the opposite.

I cannot agree more.

As far as I known from the client side experience, Arndt probably chose good time threshold 7 days, having updates daily 1-7 days old.

As on client side, processing of older incremental data can be  slower than downloading the full file even at throttled speed of BRouter application.( even on Xiaomi MI A2 6 GB RAM and 8 cores.)

But this processing speed issue is rather inconvenience  solely of the BRouter application, than must be running foreground with display on. ( my script can run on background )

The server side optimum may be a different case, though.

I suppose there will be nonWiFi download limitation/warning.

... Currently, I'm working with Radim on our own BRouter data generator that will be integrated directly into the app, probably in a similar way to downloading elevation HGT files. ...

Will it include incremental updates similarly as  the Brouter app does ? ( or my Android termux Linux bash script for power users, calling BRouter  as java application brouter.jar  for the processing of the downloaded incremental download   )

(If the prior square update is not older than 7 days, incremental update downloads typically just 2-5% of the full size, very useful e.g. for frequent/daily updates of home square a/o neighbourhood, especially for data limited cases. )

@john_percy  Menion could implement location dependent LocusMap behaviour...

I have created some multisegment test route in the Route planner, going to play with segment way/surface stats. I have not created segments sequentionally, but by cutting original single segment by dragging the segment icon.

When I then clicked on the logical 1st route segment icon, the selection dialog displayed at the top "Part 3 of route" ( probably created as the third ), but then the altitude stats chart correctly displayed "Route segment 1".

Later I created the 4-segment route sequentially and realized the selection dialog numbering ( "Part n of route") was 3-2-4-1, instead of 1-2-3-4. I think the numbering could be more consistent. :-)

BTW, have I got the message right, that the segment based way/surface stats are planned, similarly as the segment altitude chart is already in place ?

@John Percy In UK context, you are right.

 In CZ context, they are in some sense alike, grouping them in similar manner as are grouped similar surfaces in incoming LM4  surface statistics.

I agree it is rather controversial and perhaps it should not be marked so.

New beta still shows highway=footway as residential not path in route planner chart.
As far as I can see path and footway are used pretty well interchangeably in UK mapping.

I think there is general OSM trouble with proper mapping usage of
highway=footway and highway=path.

Some regions or  mappers prefer  =footway over =path for narrow single track path for pedestrians, mostly out of urban areas. Or they take them like  interchangeably.

OTOH, other regions a/o authors, like in Czech Republic, use mostly =path for them, using =footway rather for sidewalks and similar way in the urban area, often paved. Personally, I am not sure if I have ever encountered usage highway=footway e.g. for a hiking path in Czech countryside.

Considering the photos from the OSM Wiki....... they seem rather to support the Czech way ( what may include Menion :-) ) than the UK way.

It seems that mysterious update is not the same as the explicit update from the GP.

I was always able to overinstall the LM4v960 over the mysteriously installed LM4free/beta. Recently, for whatever reasons, I have explicitly demanded update of LM3 free/beta and since then, LM4 960 cannot be installed.

Perhaps it may play roles this is an ad supported free version, not unlimited beta version.

Something like that happened to me before, sometimes it is related to LM being set as a system manager application, which has to be turned off. But I guess it did not help me that time and I had to uninstall LM3 free/beta before being able to install LM4 alpha.

And exactly this I had to do now, importing then previously saved LM4 backup.

Thanks for version clarification.
Regarding surface categorisation, it seems very fine to me.
