John, this one you attached has brighter forests and no tree symbols?

Hi John, the highway exits are totally uninteresting for me as a hiker, can you change this? mfv4

I hope soon we will have v4 themes in presets.

On zooming in and out, I have seen tiles not properly painted at times. Sometimes half text, somtimes complete text at same ZL. v4 map oam.

I have also seen a start delay, black screen.

Newest Elevate and a v4 map, and the city name overshadowed by "Wohnwagen-Platz"... Sizes of town/city names like totally random.

Could you post a screenshot?

Cannot recreate it. But here is another example. I must correct, I used Elements theme. It displays a lot, but when zooming out town names should have the right prio...

It seems the route recalculation with track priority is now working well and routing me to a useful point on track consistently. Looks like I can give it a new chance. Very much appreciated.

Attached: Kompass map at an awful zoom level. Seems like online maps are increased and interpolated drastically at times, in order to get readable text sizes. I have seen lots of blurriness on online msps.

Oh, a huge update, thx. Will test, so interested in working mfv4 maps and theme system.
But what I see is still sad... Newest Elevate and a v4 map, and the city name overshadowed by "Wohnwagen-Platz"... Sizes of town/city names like totally random.

Yes, and playgrounds bigger than NYC. The joys of V3 themes I guess.

For whatever reason it sometimes shows 0m track length and elevation gain. Which is wrong, see attachment. I did some track splits before.

In your goal to offer better user support as with download of brouter routing files, please also consider updating the geonames files. Currently I do it manually.

Definitely a hard terrain and a niche market.

What I see as a chance for offering something unique is the wide area of statistics.

I'm thinking eg. GPS Trackanalyse. net, which is discontinued. And there's no seriously good "everybodies darling" solution for this.

And is Locus a standard for the Geocaching people? I think it is not.

Practical stuff. Math. Find areas with lots of slope. Etc etc, there is a lot of useful things that could be done for the sports ppl. Well you may know (Helpdesk Suggestions 😁).

Poi need love. Overlays need love. Ah, whom do I tell...

Because I think it will waste your time too much. 2 branches.

My thoughts currently are, you cannot keep Pro more or less fresh, but also maintain the subscription version at the same time. I'd rather do one version, maybe a special offer for pro users, and for those who want it rock solid, declare sporadically some versions as solid and allow for download in case of emergency.
Also add the beta branch via Google Play mechanism. For sure you will have changes in the database in mind. Just my lose thoughts.

Do major version steps and meaningful enhancements as not free updates. Subscription for ease of use  (maps download, elev., gns files etc) but allow for manual implant just as we do now.
Woooo,it's difficult I guess.
