Did you not change the SVG engine at some stage? I remember I had trouble in the past making sure my SVG icons were sufficiently simplified to work in Locus. I think that changed at some point, unless I just simplified them myself in Inkscape as a matter of course.

Themes - Vector maps / Re: [Theme] Voluntary

Quote from: balloni55 on August 02, 2023, 13:12:44Question, why are the bike paths displayed differently depending on the used map?
I can't check directly on the maps you are looking at but there are various possible reasons
- OAM includes more information about surfaces and accessibility than Lomaps do
- OAM interprets lcn=yes as network=lcn, resulting in more local cycle networks showing than for Lomaps. This is possibly the case in your example.
- OAM does many similar transformations on the data, producing more information in general
- OAM attaches all routes to the highway they follow, meaning it is possible to know if bike and hike routes are running together, for example
- OAM preserves only the route of the highest "importance" of each type (bike, hike, MTB) when several routes run together. Lomaps preserves all routes. The theme then displays the route of the highest importance but if there are several routes of the same importance running together, the selection of which route reference to label it as is effectively random.

That cycleway isn't highlighted in the Locus internal theme either. I note that it was last edited 14 days ago and it may be that the map hasn't caught up yet. OAM maps typically are updated monthly.
In Voluntary, the test is simply for highway=cycleway and shared use will not affect it, so I can see no other reason why it's not showing.
Please let me know of any other issues.

I've uploaded a new beta with an option in the Cycling style to independently switch on emphasis for cycleways.
Translations are not yet done.

Some countries have cycle highways or cycle superhighways with limited access junctions etc which will be in the next version of OAM maps. I think those should take precedence over cycleways, but otherwise OK.

So, just highway=cycleway, nothing else to make it special?
The surface is not necessarily solid in other countries, so that can't be assumed.
If I add an emphasis like for cycle routes but in a different colour (purple is used for MTB), we have to decide which takes priority, cycle route or cycleway?

Hmm. That was something I had not understood. Could you give me a link to the osm data of this cycleway so I can be sure of which tag makes it a special cycleway and needs highlighting. And the location, too, please.
Would highlighting in a different colour help?Does this highlighting need a high priority so that other cycling route colours don't show?

@Žajdlík Josef
I will prepare a test version tonight with cycleway highlighting enabled at the same time as colour-coded cycle routes, treating cycleways as local cycle routes, for cycling style
I think this is my preferred solution.
Test version: https://voluntary.nichesite.org/beta.html
Although I understand your request, I very much do not want to add another option to the menu - Voluntary theme is intended to offer only limited options for simplicity.
Please look tomorrow and tell me what you think.

@Menion @voldapet
Doesn't Locus support the improved text break algorithm in Mapsforge? In the screenshot, the town name ought to break at a hyphen.

(As in https://github.com/mapsforge/mapsforge/pull/1392 )

Quote from: Žajdlík Josef on July 08, 2023, 10:46:19Hi John, I still have a request for you about cycling style. The trees overlap cycling and their highlights. Would it be possible to move the layers so that the cycling routes are always visible?
That's easier said than done. However the real issue is there are too many trees mapped in the Lomaps version. OAM only has "important" trees. I'd like to try simply reducing the number of trees shown and also increasing their transparency. Could you please try a beta version I will upload overnight?

Quote from: Henk van der Spek on July 07, 2023, 20:33:27In the startpost you write: LM4 required but here with classic 3.68.2 it works great too.
Ah... is LM3 able to use Mapsforge V4+ maps? Do you use OAM maps?

Sorry, Dont't know. I only use the latest OAM maps (V5).
Both LM3 and LM4 can use the latest OAM maps. Obviously you get a better result with a theme designed for OAM.
Both LM3 and LM4 can display the latest Lomaps, using the same renderer and themes as for OAM maps, though once again you get best results with a theme designed for Lomaps or for both OAM maps and Lomaps.
Both LM3 and LM4 can display older Lomaps with Locus's own renderer. Themes have to be designed for older Lomaps or they won't show on the theme selector.

A new version will be uploaded tonight which doesn't display the "P" if you have selected the Cycling style within the Voluntary theme. It still shows the "P" with a hat for car park building structures (generally multistorey) as they may be of use as location aids.
If you choose to display LoPoints as an overlay on the map, the "P" from that continues to be displayed.

Quote from: Andrew Heard on June 26, 2023, 05:16:22BTW with the Voluntary V5 theme, LM is redirected to the web browser and URL kmu.files.cnow.at with error "Bad Gateway". But maybe I have an old version.
That's an old version of Voluntary. Please install the latest Voluntary V5 Locus edition from https://voluntary.nichesite.org

I can only guess, as you do, that it's something to do with the way the highways have been drawn. It's a whole lot better now that Mapsforge renders pathtext along curved paths but it's still far from ideal.
I think @Emux knows most about this.

Voluntary V5 LE which is compatible with both OAM and LoMaps shows names for lakes etc on Lomaps at zoom 16 and above. For technical reasons connected with  compatibility with OAM maps I don't show lake names on Lomaps below that.
Install the latest Voluntary theme for Locus from https://voluntary.nichesite.org


PS OAM takes the named area for a lake and creates a named point at the centre that appears at differing zoom levels, depending on the lake size.
