[Theme] Map-Themes OUTDOOR and DESERT

[bm.ffb]

Locus Map Themes OUTDOOR and DESERT
These themes have been started several years ago (generally developed for Locus App and mapsforge maps). Now, both map themes OUTDOOR and DESERT have been completely reworked and continuously improved for the use in outdoor activities.

Please find theme downloads, details, infos, examples and a detailed legend of the most current versions here: https://www.maiwolf.de/locus/ (in German, but easy to translate)

Some highlights of the new versions:

• many corrections and improvements
• more consistent color scheme used in symbols and captions
• there are 4 map styles to choose from: cycling, hiking, wintersport, city
• detailed legend of map theme as PDF on the website and directly in the installed theme
• both themes can be directly installed into Locus (from my website)
• themes are compatible with OpenAndroMaps
• some specific details can only be seen in the OpenOutdoorMaps https://www.maiwolf.de/openoutdoormap/: public transport network, parking restrictions, opening hours of supermarkets ...

Thanks for all your work Bernard. The Desert theme has always been my favorite in sparsely populated places to show maximum details. Also to highlight unsealed roads.

Both files you state in the error are not any more used in my themes. Maybe, it is a cache problem. Did you remove all temporary data in Locus (settings, various, remove temporary data or something like this)?

OUTDOOR.xml fails to validate

Could you please elaborate a bit more on the checks you did? I use "circle" and "radius" as described in the renderTheme reference.
What kind of checks did you perform? Did you check something just in the .xml file? On which machine?
For me, both themes run without problems.

This is just validation within Locus. I simply copied the ZIP file to the _themes folder. The error doesn't concern me as the theme works fine.
