Anouncement: Vector cycle-maps now available

[kech61]

Hi,

There is a major update available for some European Maps  :!:

austria
corse (incl. full coverage of the famous GR20)
czech_republic
slovakia
Spain_Portugal
switzerland

now contain hiking routes (routes that are organized in relations).

The rendering is pretty much the same as for cycle routes,
cycle routes are rendered as dottet lines,
hiking routes are rendered as dashed lines.

There is a Version of Voilatile Theme available too for these maps.

The high contrast theme can be found here : http://www.openandromaps.org/files/them ... aps_hc.zip
it includes cycle and hiking ways and will be the standard theme from now on.

Here you see the Cycleroute "Donauradweg" + the famous hiking route "Jakobsweg"

Any comments and bugreports are highly apreciated.

Hi Christian,
great!
Will there be also maps for Germany and other maps (e.g. Canarian Islands) with hiking routes?
Just few comments on the news page of openandromaps: The date for the new mapset Africa is wrong and there is no news entry for the hiking routes.
Best wishes,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

The maps are available at the download area and can be identyfied by the [attachment=0:s3a3titw]hike24.png[/attachment:s3a3titw] icon.

The new resolving incl. hiking routes will be the standard one for European maps
and popular destinations.

Maybe I will release this too for great hiking ways like the appalachen trail aso.

However, I want to wait for bug-reports till I announce them on the news page
and resolve the bigger maps like Germany, France aso.

I, myself have'nt found any bugs - but.....  

best regards
Christian

Hi I just added the canary islands, there are a lot of hiking ways tagged in OSM.

The hiking paths now contain a difficulty scale (sac_scale, dav_scale)

All maps uploaded from 22.November.2012 on now contain a difficulty scale as far as its tagged in the OSM-Database.
The color codes and the assignement to the colors is discussed in detail here:
- German //http://www.openandromaps.org/de/legend.html
- English //http://www.openandromaps.org/en/legend.html
