Habe heute erstmals das Overlay mit den Hangneigungskarten in outdooractve gesehen. Kennt jemand eine Möglichkeit, dass als Layer für die Vektorkarten in Locus zu nutzen? Wäre super für Skitouren oder MTB touren.

Hi Menion,

I would like to have a kind of bicycle computer as a custom screen. But my proposal is not  to make a real custom screen because the display of my mobile is small and I want to see as much of the map as possible. I think it would be better to have one ore more additonal screens and a possibility to switch very easy between screens. For instance first screen is the map second is bicycle computer and third is extended info on bicycle computer.

I know you don't work with garmin devices. But they have a pretty easy possibility to setup your personal page (it is a kind of custom screen).  The page has 8 rectangels. Each rectangel can contain information f.i. speed or altitude. The user can choose from ca. 20 different things in a dropdown box. The user has the possibility to decide what information is displayed in each rectangle. So everybody can create his own custom screen.

Hi jurajs,

thankx for the links. But this is for experts only. I am no programmer and I want to understand from user's point of view.

Ok, thank you guys. I thought only the settings in the  hiking theme decide on which layer the objects are shown. So there is no chance to have powerlines on the map?
Do you have an idea where the whole process of making a map is shown? Easy to understand for newbies and not for experts?
Thanks ppiter

I will do my very best!
Thanks for your answer. I will wait for the next winter/spring!

Openmtbmap shows special tracks for people who ride MTB.

 Is it possible to see the data/routes from openmtbmap in the cycle-map as well? Do I need to adapt the theme and integrate mtb:scale and mtb:description? Or has the map not the necessary data for this?

Is it possible to create a map overlay?

The hiking theme is very helpful for me. Thank you!
What I'm missing are powerlines. If I integrate power:line and power:pole in the theme it is just the same. No powerlines on the map.

Another problem is I want to see some nodes on lower zoom levels. So I tried to change
         <rule e="node" k="amenity" v="restaurant" zoom-min="15">
            <symbol src="file:/symbols/restaurant.png" />
         </rule>
to          <rule e="node" k="amenity" v="restaurant" zoom-min="13">
            <symbol src="file:/symbols/restaurant.png" />
         </rule>
but nothing happens. Where is my mistake?

I don't thought that it is so complicated to create cycle map!
Thanks folks for your reply and the explanation what is necessary. I will wait.

@Christian: I wish you a lot of fun with kayaking! I've paddeled over 25 years RU

Does anybody created a cylcle theme like OSM Cyclo and is willing to share it?

I tried to create a theme with vector map and overlay for cycleroutes provided here viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1876. But I failed.
Thank you

Ok, I finally found the mistake. In the first line of the code in the example is

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0"?>this does not work for me. If I change the first line to

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
I get all overlays. I'm no programmer, so I don't know what the difference is. But in my original providers.xml produced by map tweak the first line is with UTF-8

Hope this can help others

Next attempt:
I renamed locus directory on sd card.
I created new directory on sd card /Locus/mapsOnline/custom and put the providers.xml file in the custom directory.
I have only this in my providers.xml

Code Select Expand

    </providers>I installed Locus free
I looked in map manager/online but again no additional layers to select.
I am helpless now!

I cant select it in Map as Source. As I said I have no problems with the other samples. They work fine. Only this one makes me trouble. Do I have to delete a cache or something else? Same problem with the OMS: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1907. Only the Wanderreit: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1881 is working for me.

Is there a chance to get the mapprovider config for the layers? They look really good!!!

Wanderreit (hill shade and Contour lines) is working, but hikebikemap isn't shown in online maps. I tried it with a new Provider.xml and put only your code in this file. But it isn't shown. If I do the same with wanderreit it works fine. Any hints for me?
