That is better, as the main A5 road is shown, but the more minor link roads are still obscured by the park - most obviously the one coming in from the left of the screenshot to the junction by the cursor. There is another minor road covered by a residential area to the top right of the screenshot as well as the stream running through the park (as well as the woodland in the park, which is a different issue, mentioned earlier in this thread).

Demonstrating Layer = -1 problems around Milton Keynes (UK) and the resolution with a semi-transparent park area.

Some streams are covered by areas (wood, meadow, ...). So the Prießnitz in Dresden at N 51°04.588', E 13°45.701'. (After outcommenting the rules for forest, wood, ... one can see these streams on the map.)

The Layer = -1 issue comes up elsewhere in UK maps. My suggestion for resolving it (in part) is to use a partially transparent fill for areas, both colour and image fills. It seems to work acceptably.

For example:

Code Select Expand

<rule e="way" k="leisure" v="park|garden|golf_course|common|green">
<area fill="#408EC117" stroke="#6fc18e" stroke-width="0.2" />
</rule>

Menion: I will *try* to be patient ;-)

Currently, the "sea level" contour line disagrees with the coastline. My workaround is to simply amend the theme to hide the elevation=0 contour line, relying on the fact that the tag mapping does not add elevation data to this line. This won't work in areas where the land comes down steeply to sea level as other contour lines may stray into the sea area. And if you use a map with sea tiles from OpenAndroMaps, then this is not needed - those maps seem to hide the zero elevation contour line by default.
Is there a better way of doing this?
