[Theme] Voluntary

Yes, the lines are due to transparent tiles overlapping slightly. If you remove the transparency, the lines will go - as long as you have no strokes there.
The tiles don't overlap at certain zoom levels so the problem is limited to certain zoom levels.

Yes thx John, I solved this one.

Do you know why transparencies of lines can be unstable? The hiking routes in my theme are the green/green-bluish ones (bluish more important ones).

Notice that after re-application of theme, but also zooming action the transparency is different, despite same ZL.

May I ask you to have a look?

It's a heavily changed Settler theme.

@Tapio
In my experience it's usually caused by portions of the map being rendered twice, due to having two overlapping maps covering the same area and Automatic map loading turned on for Vector maps (Offline).

The latest version of the Voluntary themes now supports OAM maps and both new and old LoMaps.
It also supports OSMC hiking trail markers (in Hiking style). See link below.

OAM MFV5 map, I don't manage to display those osmc markers on map. "Waymarks"? Do not show up.

Sorry, I completely forgot to upload the graphics for OSMC. Hopefully now corrected!
Screenshot is v5 on OAM on my phone, so it does work!

John, do you know why controlling pathText (e. g. along motorway paths) is more or less impossible? Also with use of repeat-gap?

What I see, also in your theme, sometimes there's many REFs displayed at one spot, sometimes you rarely find one. Maybe it's related to how the path has been painted?

john_percy · June 20, 2023, 16:46:09

I can only guess, as you do, that it's something to do with the way the highways have been drawn. It's a whole lot better now that Mapsforge renders pathtext along curved paths but it's still far from ideal.
I think @Emux knows most about this.

Hi John, would it be possible to make the parking mark as an optional item? It is not important for the cyclist and takes up space on the map.

john_percy · June 27, 2023, 17:04:23

A new version will be uploaded tonight which doesn't display the "P" if you have selected the Cycling style within the Voluntary theme. It still shows the "P" with a hat for car park building structures (generally multistorey) as they may be of use as location aids.
If you choose to display LoPoints as an overlay on the map, the "P" from that continues to be displayed.

Hi John, I still have a request for you about cycling style. The trees overlap cycling and their highlights. Would it be possible to move the layers so that the cycling routes are always visible?

That's easier said than done. However the real issue is there are too many trees mapped in the Lomaps version. OAM only has "important" trees. I'd like to try simply reducing the number of trees shown and also increasing their transparency. Could you please try a beta version I will upload overnight?

Hi John, beta is much better and clearer for cycling. The trees are not very important when cycling. It is important to navigate and the beta is clearer on the small display of the phone.

Žajdlík Josef · July 29, 2023, 15:35:04

Hi Andrew, I have another request for adjusting the cycling. If the cycle path is not even a cycle route, it is almost not visible in the blue color. If it runs near the railway line, it is not visible at all. In the topics of Locus and Paws, the cycle paths are highlighted with a purple color. Would it be possible to add the possibility to make the cycle path to the menu? After activation, it would be highlighted to a full purple color. And I'm sorry I still want some changes.

Tapio · July 29, 2023, 15:58:21

I've seen those occurences with cycleways close to railways, and the cycleways disappearing behind railways at lower ZL. Not much we can do here I guess. Except maybe allowing to hide railways.
It was in all themes I tried.
Please provide a position, for testing...
