[There is a new generation of maps upcoming in the next weeks.]

Hi,

There is a new generation of maps upcoming in the next weeks.
No big deal for you - the old Themes will be 100% compatible with the new maps.

However, the last couple of weeks (weekends ;-) ) I changed the structure of my rendering system.
Now its possible to assign special tagmappings to individual maps with ease, and the simplification-factor too.

Next weeks will see maps with contourlines starting at zoom-level 8 (major/medium) 11 (minor) for maps covering wide empty areas.

Starting with iceland (ready for download) with new contourlines, tags like helipad, shelters, alpine_huts, peaks, volcanos at very low zoom-level and a simplification factor of 3.

There are some additions/changes neccessary for the themes, basicly adding code for contourlines from level 8 on and adjusting the zoom-mins.

The whole posting and a preview of the new iceland.map can be seen here:

Kann man es also per Theme ändern oder nicht?

Hallo,

Die zoom-appear unter diesem Link sind jene die für den Urbanen Bereich gelten (80% von Europa).
Konkret ist Fuel dort wo Sprit ein Problem sein kann (SüdAmerika, Australien, Island, Afrika etc..) ab Level 13 enthalten.

Das ist hartcodiert und kann nicht auf "früher" geändert werden (zu 98%)

Die restlichen 2% ?
Nun ein Datensatz wird dann von der OSM in Mapsforge übernommen wenn mindestens ein Tag matched.
Das heisst wenn ein amenity=fuel zB an eine Fläche gebunden ist die früher eingebunden wird (zB landuse=industrial= level10) dann erscheint der "fuel" auch ab level 10 - so er nicht über die Theme eingebremst wird.
Das erklärt warum in der andromaps_HC manche Pois sehr früh auftauchen - in meinen Themes verwende ich kaum zoo-mins um die Karten auch in Wüstengebieten in voller Detailtreue darzustellen...
... da ich eine Menge verschiedener tag-mappings verwende die an die jeweilige Struktur des Landes angepasst sind.

Beste Grüsse,

Hi Menion,

Thanks and a happy new year!

Hi Jusc,

I know this issue have to be resolved,
same for the webpage design, the installation videos, themesync, rreworking OAM-Themes,aso... ;-)

In March a big projekt for a customer (not mapping related) will come to an end - this will leave more resources for the OAM-project.

As we dicussed earlier I still hate the way OSMC is implemented in OSM and it will add a lot of overhead to both maps and Themes, however its the best implementation we have so far.
I have to check too if this stuff (overlaying transparent pngs) is working in generic Mapsforge...
A collision detection for the labels would be nice too (I had this for the hike/cycle nodes and it took ages to process).

Hi Menion,

I tried to implement the Locus:Actions for downloading and installing OpenAndroMaps themes to locus.
Well, it crashes Locus (the actions from Freizeitkarte too).

Sometimes Locus says that an error occured, sometimes it crashes hard.
There is no errorlog in /locus/logs

I tried various encodings, unix and dos EOLs, size tag, - no luck

Hi,

I'v published the basic settings (Tag-Transform, TagMapping) of the OpenAndroMaps to make live easier for everyone.
(you have probably seen this already)

http://www.openandromaps.org/en/map-basics-2/tagtransform
http://www.openandromaps.org/en/map-basics-2/tag-mapping

Last weeks there I added numerous tags and transforms to OAM so the section contain a changelog too.

Best regards,

@kech: really? damn .. I hoped all is tested and working. Hmm ... oki, I'll look at it
EDIT: please try to delete cache of vector maps by changing theme to another and back. Just for sure

Hi Menion,

Leftbound: peaks, volcanos definitly render leftbound, cache was cleared.

Hi Menion

I dont want to be a pain in your neck...
However, Captions still render leftbound.

best regards

What is a mountain pass? Example?
Thanks in advance.

Passhöhe, Sattel tagged as node for roads and paths too.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/47.6250/14.3146
However its not rendered in Mapnik.

@kech61
you can the dx parameter remove again from your themes. With new test version there is no longer need for it.

Thanks, done
+ added mountain_pass

...In mapsforge is set labeling to Align.LEFT but in the end, all labels was center. I probably fixed this by accident, so this started to work correctly ....

 :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

Thanks for information!

hi guys, are you sure it was centered by default before?

Absolutely, in Apps with standard 0.3.0 implementation the captions render centered.

your labels are as captions in your renderTheme?

Only the labes of cycle + hiking nodes (these are nodes in osm) - is there a better solution for this in the modified code of Locus?
EDIT: Cycle Nodes are a special kind of cycle navigation/guiding in the Netherlands and Belgium, the best in the world.

I'v provided samples of Locus and standard:
You see that the captions of peaks in locus are leftbound (it was centered a few versions bevore), standard 0.3.0 is centered.

Thanks for this hint. Some locus versions ago was the "dx" parameter added. So you should add it to your render theme.
(I have to update my themes too   )

Hi Jusc,

Thanks a million for quick solution, just right for the update of openandromaps this evening.

Hi Menion,

I noticed that caption are rendering left bound (at least since a couple of weeks) - in standard Mapsforge these captions render centered.
While this is usually no big issue it affects the cycle nodes which consits of a circle with the number of the node rendered into it.

This looks not very pleasing in Locus.
Is this a bug, or in other words if you changed the renderer - is there an option for the theme to render those cycle nodes as it was in earlier versions of Locus?

I edited the power lines section as a workaround:

Hi John,

Much better than my renderrule, I'v replaced it with your solution.

Thanks and best regards
