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?

You have to change encoding to utf8 before saving. It's under the triple dot menu on the top right.
I think your situation is probably recoverable - I had a similar problem with a custom map source file in Locus.

@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.

In these examples the cycleway doesn't actually disappear but it's admittedly hard to see at that zoom. (It is in any case redrawn in a thinner version above roads etc to ensure it is visible.)
I'm reluctant to attempt to give it an extra highlight as the various emphasis lines for the routes are carefully stacked to work with multiple types of route and cannot be readily changed.

There is no straightforward way to distinguish Lomaps from OAM maps. In many cases you can write a test that works for both maps, though I'm not sure it will work in this case. If I understand you correctly, then if location="~", Lomaps and OAM maps understand it differently. Is that right?

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 )

Hi 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?

In 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.

Das Elevate-Theme ist für die Verwendung mit OAM-Karten konzipiert, nicht mit Lomaps.  Folglich wird es immer einige Mängel geben, wenn Sie Elevate mit einer Lomap verwenden.
 Wenn Sie Locus und Lomaps verwenden, umfassen Ihre Optionen für eine ordnungsgemäße Anzeige die internen Locus-Themen, meine Voluntary Themen und andere, die für v4 Lomaps entwickelt werden.

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.

BTW 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

You are hitting a map boundary. You are supposed to be able to set offline maps to load the next map also in Settings>Maps>Offline maps>Automatic map loading.
It didn't use to work very well with OAM maps but now it doesn't seem to work very well with Lomaps either.I did a quick test with v4 Lomaps of England, Wales and Scotland and the results were inconsistent. Sometimes the new map loaded, sometimes not.

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.
