Fair cop, guvnor.
I've rewritten the original post to provide what is hopefully a better explanation.
Clearer now?

Minor (bugfix) update for Locus version in the first post connected with Locus styles.

The problem I find is connected to the rendering of the transparency of the fill defined in the theme. Used as a theme on its own, contours is rendered with spurious segments of contours when the zoom level is changed.
However, it seems to work as an overlay:
1. Select a non-vector map as the base
2. Select a vector map as the overlay
3. Blend=disabled, etc
4. Select contours as the theme
5. Zoom in and out.

As an alternative, set the background fill in the contours theme to #FFFFFF, and the blend to multiply in the overlay. That way the theme works as a standalone map and as an overlay.

I attach a slightly simplified theme as well as an opaque version.

It's not working properly for me now. Zooming in or out results in incorrect segments of contour lines on the map.
If you choose the theme again, it redraws correctly. So it's some kind of bug?

Another update in the first post:
- Added cycle lanes in roads (short blue dashes on road) and cycle tracks alongside roads (longer blue dashes on road) for maps from OpenAndroMaps.
- Renamed Voluntary Atlas to Voluntary Cruiser to match change of name of application.
- First stab at resolution-independent patterns for Locus.

The Elevate theme ought to work in Locus with Mapsforge v4 multilingual maps. The theme is meant to be universal, so if it works elsewhere, menion will still have to have a look.

what's wrong?

 

Not just Germany

The disadvantage of the Locus method is that requiring different zoom levels for different dpi to see the same area alters the detail seen (because of fixed zoom appear). The Orux method avoid that and something similar could presumably be built in to the renderer by detecting dpi and magnifying accordingly. However high resolution devices would display a magnified version of low resolution devices maps.

As @709, mistrust all 64G SD cards, especially the cheap ones. I was caught out once and after that I always check them carefully.

Hmm and this, what you describe, is a mess?? Well in new side panel is at top "tools" button. Tap it and select what you want to see on a side of screen.

No tools button for me...

You can also drag and drop from the PC into the Genymotion window, which is equivalent to downloading to the Android.

It's not correct behaviour at present when Locus is also providing a beta database with poi and addresses which it overwrites.

Yes, I'd noted that the sun seems to come from the North, which may be OK in the southern hemisphere but is odd in Europe.

My experience is that an emulator is fine for trying things out, but it cannot emulate different dpi resolutions at all successfully.
I know it "can" but either the physical size of the display window or the sharpness of the display has to be different from what you are emulating, and so what you see is not what you get.

@menion But in this case hill shading was modified to improve it in beta. Beta users report that the slowing down was too great for the improvement gained. Isn't that what you have beta testers for?
