Themes - Vector maps / Re: [Theme] Voluntary UK
August 04, 2021, 12:26:05
@tapio It's an unfortunate side effect of using semi transparent fills to allow underlying details to show through. As it seems only to be a problem at zooms 12/13 I'll try reverting to a solid fill at those levels. I had that before but for some reason changed it.

Elevate and OAM work for me in LM4. You could try posting in the OAM forum. Screenshots would help, also.
I'm not sure if you tried a fresh install of Elevate, perhaps you did.
Do you have anything on an "external" SD card. That messes things up for some phones with Locus.
Have you set a non-default directory for maps? That's different in LM4?

Updated themes with emergency access pois appearing later (Thanks, @tapio)

Also a quick beta version of Voluntary Mapsforge (for OAM maps in Locus), which colour codes hiking routes in the Hiking theme only, as requested by @respublikamroja. 
Colours are:
- international walking routes: blue ██
- national walking routes: red ██
- regional walking routes: green ██
- local or unspecified walking routes: yellow ██

Feedback welcome. If positive, I could extend the colouring to other versions of the theme and to cycle routes in the Cycle style - but not to the multi, yellow, or transparent styles in the themes because they allow the user to show both hiking and cycling routes which would become confusing.

Edit: Please note, this does not show the difficulty of visibility of the route, only its place in the hierarchy.

I don't think the Strava overlay works within Locus any more, even using your own cookie.

@tapio Almost certainly in this case the shelter symbol is clashing with the "G" of the path reference which has a higher priority (not just display order)
and so the shelter is not shown.
Alternative approaches would be to either give the shelter a higher priority or to make it display=always. A higher priority would mean that in this case the shelter displayed but not the "G"; display=always would mean they both displayed (probably). But there would be other locations where that would not be desirable.

@tapio This type of behaviour can occur if you have two maps that overlap and you have Autoload Maps turned on for vector maps. Sometimes *both* maps are drawn, one after the other. It particularly affects OAM maps (I think). Woods etc are semi transparent in this theme so as to not hide details underneath them, and if drawn twice (which may happen from the overlapping maps) appear more colourful.
The double drawing does not happen reliably but can often be triggered by zooming out and then in.
I suspect the effect may be more obvious in the Yellow style because the roads attract your attention less than in the other styles in the theme. It shouldn't be anything inherent in the Yellow style as that changes only road colours.
I used to find this bug most annoying when I had overlapping maps with different elevation detail as I got two lots of contour lines which were different. This has been discussed before and the only solution I know of is to turn off Autoload Maps.

The idea was a style with toned-down road colours to act a as a background in conjunction with an overlay, specifically originally Strava heat map.

I have uploaded a new version in the first post in this thread.
Changes are numerous:
- Added wintersports with skiing pistes (downhill and Nordic) and sledding, with difficulty shown, as selectable option in Hiking and Wintersports style.
- Protected areas now shown as gold (access allowed) or pink (access restricted) tint  which is most intense at low zooms and becomes fainter and less distracting as you zoom in.
- Surface for cyclable ways now shown, when cycle tracks and lanes, or Cycling style is selected
- Hiking, cycle and MTB routes can now be displayed independently of paths and tracks
- Improved display of hiking, cycle and MTB routes
- Also added: cutting, hedge, row of trees, water park area (corrected), beach resort, cliff diving, free flying (kite surfing etc), climbing adventure (Go Ape etc), roller skating, skateboard, miniature golf, ice cream vendor, emergency access point, historic stone, memorial stone, boundary stone, natural stone, log barrier, ditch barrier, natural earth bank, block barrier, town hall, art work, water works, sewage works, covered parking, private playgrounds; historic buildings, military buildings distinguished; historic areas shown.
- Icons changed for kissing gates, stile, pharmacy, doctors, toilets, recycling (colour change), playground, emergency phone
- Adjusted zoom levels for roads for consistency
- Updated key: https://bit.ly/VoluntaryKey

@CabrioTourer42 My suggestion is to replace black in your icons with very dark grey. I've done this with the map icons for the new version of my Voluntary theme. That way they will work in dark mode, which generally needs low contrast icons and the difference is barely noticeable in the light mode.
An alternative approach is to replace the transparent areas with very low opacity white, such as #20FFFFFF. I've done that as well with some custom icons.

@tapio Thanks for that! There's a new version on its way. I've just got to update the legend (see earlier posts).

Try it. I think you'll find it's what you need. I don't think Lomaps have migrated to v4 yet.

Plain/Hill/Mountain makes sense as a triad, and has no rude obscene connotations that I am aware of (an important consideration when using a foreign language).
However, my first thought was actually that the proposed naming appears to tie the Locus tiers rather strongly to the intended usage. If I walk or ride mainly in the plain, do I want the Plain version? Maybe it has no contour lines? Maybe the Hill version stops working above 1000m and the maps disappear in mist?

Release notes refer to Brouter (internal), as previously discussed. App still says Brouter (inner), which is not good English.
