see old post again.
if u use the right borders - the real alps file are smaller than yours.

Hi Gynta,

I added The Alps_V2 to my site, it offers full coverage of the whole Alps  


Best regards
Christian

see old post again.
if u use the right borders - the real alps file are smaller than yours.

You are right, of couse.
However, it makes quite a differece if you map the flats in lower Austria, southern Germany rather than the Alps in France (FranceAlps.map is 309MB of size) couse of the contourlines, even if this covers the same area.

And, mhhhh.... I'm a little bit selfish .... I want to have whole Austria on the map  

I will give the whole alps a try when I'm home from vacance even if the task manager showed up memory consumption of 1390mb of 1400mb heap space...

These are not the alps.
You have forgotten some of my good friends in italy and france.
=> few month ago...
viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1717&hilit=alps&start=20#p11643

maybe for the next release...

 

The current coverage is on the edge of the possibilitys of my rendermachine (a Lenov0 T410 in fact), a few MB more and it will crash.
However, if someone could donate a rock solid redermachine with at least 16GB Ram I would create such a map instantly.  :mrgreen:

is there a small old, lonesome server lying somewhere in a corner  :?:  

The technical problems of full automated map creating with all bells'n whistles (besides the equipment) are already solved  ....

["ALPS"]

There is a heavy bug in Mapsforge.....
All work on the new mtb_theme is delayed for 2 weeks - sorry.

The new rendered Maps are online + a mtb_theme
As a Christmas gift finally the "ALPS" with enhanced coverage and high resolution contourlines is available for Download.

The Renderthemes are enhanced too with smarter Contourlines and many other new features.

Merry Christmas

There is a heavy bug in Mapsforge that leads to totaly unpredictable results redering

mtb:scale [0-6]
mtb:scale:uphill [0-5]

I'm currently rerendering all European maps with a workaround, these maps will be online end of Dezember/ beginn of January with a new version of the rendertheme.
The maps that are currently online are perfect besides the mtb:* issue.

All work on the new mtb_theme is delayed for 2 weeks - sorry.

it was another icon ("phone" in this case) close to pharmacy
that's "overruled" first icon

Thx for bringing this issue to my attention and for checking, I will resort the rendering order in some ways,
IMO hospital, pharmacy etc.. should have priority.

Hello Christian
1.
(e.g.) "pharmacy" is shown after zoomlevel 13 - but disappears on 15 and 17

Should not happen, I invested lost of efforts to reduce this problem (even with pois bound to a way).
However, conficts with other Pios/Refs aso. my happen - please give me a permalink so that I can check this in Detail.

2.
And very strange: i see dots dots and ...dots
Too much dots.

 :mrgreen:

Well, i know not everyone likes the dotted contourlines..
Maybe I switch to Jusc ones in near future  

The solution is simple, just replace the section in the rendertheme with this code (from Jusc's Volatile)

so sorry for troubles, but surprising for me is fact, that users that downloaded maps and installed theme, aren't able to check which theme is selected and rather write email.

Hi Menion,
Thanks for clarification - no problem at all, I just made a note on my website concerning this issue.

As for the EMails: This is OK for me - I just C&P and its done  

[8.12.2012 - Locus 2.8.1]

8.12.2012 - Locus 2.8.1
new version is finally available. Enjoy

Hi Menion,

It seems that, after installing the new version, the default setting for the themes switches to the internal ones.
I received several Mails that after installing the openandromaps are no longer working correct.

This could be easily solved by switching back to the andromaps_hc.
However, it would be great if the choice of the user would stay as it is till one of your maps is bought.

I didn't yet try but would it not be sufficient to make a copy of andromaps_hc, rename it e.g. to andromaps_kct, rename the contained andromaps_hc.xml to andromaps_kct.xml and make the wished changes for the ways and use that new theme then?

Unfortunately it isnt.
Most of the kct_* tags only exist in relations not in ways - in my resolving the kct_ tags are transformed to network="ncn|rcn" and inherited to ways, so there is no exsiting kct_ tag you can render. (Mapsforge is NOT able to resolve any relation by default, except multypolygons)

This is the usual way country specific tags are treaten (same for UK), the rules I use are are the same as at http://www.lonvia.de

What means "inherited": unlike to mkgmap or mapnik that contain a scripting language (stylesheets) and do the complicated resolving intrnaly,
I have parse the whole OSM-Database, analysing relations (they are usualy nested) finding hiking/cycle related ones and write a WHOLE NEW database where all ways receive the tags from the approbriate relations. This is done by, not so easy, perl programms.
To change these programms means lots and lots of hours till all is running smooth and all silly tagging is catched, for all countrys with specific tagging....

However, maybe some day a mapsforge version appears thats easier to handle...

Hi Kem,

I am just user so the next question can be silly: Would it be possible to change route rendering style in order the kct route will have same colour as it is in reality? ....
...I think this is very important as Czech maps follow this style for several generations (40+ years). I wonder if it is matter of change a route rendering property or it is more difficult to arrange it.

The question is'nt silly at all.

The answer in short: It would be possible, but would require a serious rewrite of my tools (with mapsforge this means serious programming instead of scripting) and the theme and there are a lot of countrys with specific tags so this would be an endless issue.
However, it could be done - with lots of effort.

My current decicion is to stay with the rules defined by lonvia.de, its a matter of resources.

...add this Theme to the shop

This theme is exclusively useful in combination with your andromaps (OSM - Vectormaps with contourlines, cycleroutes, and more) - right?

Yes and no...

The Theme contains all usual tags used by all Mapsforge maps (so it will work with all of them), but only the openandromaps contain additional cycle and hiking route information, I dont know of any other renderer who managed to resolve relations with mapsforge so far.  :geek:

[andromaps_hc]

Hello,

It is time for a new theme for the maps on http://www.openandromaps.org
The first theme (cycle_hc) is'nt suitable for the new maps which now include:
- cycle_routes
- hiking_routes
- sac_scale
- mtb_scale
- aso....
Of couse the maps are still for cyclists.
However, with the new updates they developed more and more into a complete solution for all outdoor enthusiast.

So the new name of the theme is andromaps_hc, it's an all_in_one theme covering all kinds of activitys while avoiding overweening features and provides still high-contrast for smartphones.
I'v taken some (ähmm, a lot?  :oops: ) elements from the volatile-theme from jusc - I love how he renderes roads  

In Detail:
- cycle routes are still rendered as in the cycle_hc, this means as dotted lines
  red=icn|ncn
  light blue=rcn
  dark blue=lcn and routes with no valid network tag
- MTB_routes render as green dotted lines
  mtb_scale = 0 > light green
  mtb_scale = 1 > green
  mtb_scale = 2 > dark green
  mtb_scale = 3 > very dark green
  mtb_scale = 4-6 > dark green with 30% more distance between dots
- Hiking routes: dashed lines cross the ways
  red > Internatiol und National hiking routes (iwn,nwn)
  ligth blue > Regional hiking routes (rwn)
  dark blue > Local hiking routes (lwn) and all hiking routes without valid network tag
- sac_scale is assiged to footway|paths
  for a detailed description about the rendering rules of the sac_scale please visit http://www.openandromaps.org/en/legend.html
- cliffs are added, however its a little bit crude (Its impossible to assign a waymark to the direction of a line in mapsforge)
- alpine_huts now render reliable (same for pois bound to ways)
- towns,villages now render at lower zoom levels providing a much better overview
- a lot of minor improvements like addition of historic railways, mountain railways, some buildings, aso...
- aso, aso....

The theme is available on the download page: http://www.openandromaps.org/en/download

The old cycle_hc is still valid for cycling, but its no longer maintained.

The latest Version of the theme is here for download:
http://www.openandromaps.org/wp-content ... aps_hc.zip

The latest mtb_theme is here for download:
http://www.openandromaps.org/wp-content ... ps_mtb.zip

[The hiking paths now contain a difficulty scale (sac_scale, dav_scale)]

Hello,

There is an important upgrade for the Cycle/Hiking maps from http://www.openandromaps.org

The hiking paths now contain a difficulty scale (sac_scale, dav_scale)

All maps uploaded from 22.November.2012 on now contain a difficulty scale as far as its tagged in the OSM-Database.
The color codes and the assignement to the colors is discussed in detail here:
- German //http://www.openandromaps.org/de/legend.html
- English //http://www.openandromaps.org/en/legend.html

Please update your Theme and install it : //http://www.openandromaps.org/files/themes/locus/andromaps_hc.zip
