Themes - Vector maps / Re: [Theme] OS Map
January 18, 2024, 22:18:51
My apologies @karlchick. Rather than duplicate my comments, see https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=2915.msg74307#msg74307.

And following on from my comments @ https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=8518.msg74306#msg74306, my (others?) use-case of wanting to see all POI of a search just for a short time, having a super boring theme showing no points, names or features than other roads, would allow those searched points to be highly visible. A case for "really simple plain theme" linked to a preset named "simple", which at present seems best with "LM road". <end ramble>

My apologies @john_percy (so many ways in Locus to do things) - as mentioned elsewhere I can instead search LoPoints(offline) > Hiking & Cycling > Bicycle parking. It works. Although as general comment, the LoPoints unfortunately blend in very well in this use-case, with the overall clutter of a map, so nearly impossible to see. There could be a "high contrast" set of icons for temporary searched LoPoints.

BTW while creating the screen capture, I noted with this theme more "bike park" icons than with @tapio theme. Not a criticism tapio ;-) Workaround/ tip - switch to Locus road theme, which has the least "clutter" when doing search LoPoints(offline) - see 2nd screen cap.

Thanks for checking karl.

see https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=8518.msg74298#msg74298

Yes, it sadly appears not possible. I understand the OAM logic in some enlightened western European cities but not sure it applies in other less fortunate places. Where I live, getting any bike-hoop added is always celebrated as a minor win for cyclists.

Quote from: john_percy on January 17, 2024, 15:50:59Do I see in another post that bicycle parking is not included in the offline maps themselves, so it can't be displayed in any offline theme?

Quote from: Tapio on January 17, 2024, 16:30:20A quick test showed me that amenity=bicycle_parking is not included in OAM...
that's a shame (weird) isn't it - the one time I want to find bike parking in a bike-friendly GPS app, and I luck out ;-( Thanks for trying.

@karlchick - suggestion - given your theme can be for cyclists, optionally display bike parking as POI? Attached is map around OSM node https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6804728475. Maybe I have missed a theme setting - see attached map with your theme - there is a red "P" inside a red square but it is not quite in the correct location? Online LM route planner correctly displays the bike park @ https://web.locusmap.app/en/?lat=-42.883736&lng=147.333798&z=19&map=hikeBike (although it is tiny, nearly invisible), as does online bikerouter @ https://brouter.m11n.de/#map=19/-42.88322/147.33309/standard.

Locus Map / Re: [APP] - version 4.20.+ ( 11/2023 )

Quote from: Menion on December 28, 2023, 08:28:14"Error when nav points are close" > better error is of course better :), but I need to simulate it to set up and verify the correct error message.
@Menion - as reported I tried to reproduce too without luck, sorry

Quote from: Menion on December 28, 2023, 08:28:14"Font size" > I hoped it would be possible to temporarily reduce the size of the font for the whole tablet.
it didn't even occur to me to try

Quote from: Menion on December 28, 2023, 08:28:14This is the default size? We talk about your Tab A7??
yes default size on Tab A7

Quote from: Tapio on December 24, 2023, 13:44:06it's specific and due to the way the mappers have drawn the bridge
@Tapio - that's OK - it was kind of you to attempt. Is there some problem with how the bridge ways are described? It was me that added the north side footpath/ cycleway, with some nervousness, being alongside a major highway, but maybe it can be improved.

Quote from: Tapio on December 23, 2023, 17:49:29I could of course export to gpx and rebuild it
@Tapio or Cloud Sync, then delete on device, then Cloud Sync... if you dare. Quite slow too, of course. I have done this once & it worked but still feels risky.

Unfortunately I still have issues with that test bridge. Theme displayed on  dashboard at top/left corner. All relevant theme tick boxes are ticked.
