Themes - Vector maps / Re: [Theme] OS Map

The main thing is more contrast, highlighting, all waterways.
Changing colour in basemap is not necessary, i think most people are ok with it, so a selectable option, if it is possible to have a rather solid (not very transparant) outline to waterways in order to make waterways stand out a little more.

Maybe have a survey or brainstorm for river users or other water related options.

-a selectable more contrasting outline or darker blue, like emphasising roads would be my priority
-direction of flow, like in your screenshots would also be nice

Optionally:
-possible enter and exit points for canoing, danger zones, rapids, shallow zones, waterfall, hydro powerstations, wind shelters like in Sweden Vindskydd (i have these as personal POI for hiking and canoeing), other
-estimate lines for high and low tides?
-...

Maybe there are other requests from different water users, i believe this could be well appreciated extra selectable options.

I know this theme is focused on hiking, ... But would it be possible to add an option to dash and/or emphasise water elements like rivers, lakes,... With a more contrasting for ewample: dark Blue colour?
Or even dark blue arrows to point in direction of flow?
I prefer to use this with LoMaps
Thank you

Themes - Vector maps / visibility of water
July 19, 2024, 13:05:16
hello,
i recently noticed that the visibility of waterways, rivers, creeks, ... is rather poor in Lomaps, especially when compared to OSM topo maps
would it be possible to have an option in a theme or a general option to highlight water elements? maybe a darker blue, more contrasting
the visibility does not change when switching to hiking theme in Lomaps

Locus Map for Garmin / lomaps on Garmin device
February 25, 2019, 20:31:09
I am sorry if this is in the wrong place

Considering it is possible to use OSM Maps in Garmin devices (for example gpsmap 276Cx)
And Lomaps  are based on OSM Maps
Would it be possible to use Lomaps in a Garmin device?
Preferably with high detail (theme hiking/cycling)
If not, why not?
If yes, how do i transfer or create IMG files ready for Garmin?
