Title: Elevate - Openandromaps hiking, cycling, sightseeing themes

I developed Elevate for mountain hiking in the alps. At first it was based on the standard hike and cycle theme of Openandromaps, but has been completely revised since. I added additional variants by and by for other uses, by user requests.
It's been developed and tested with OruxMaps and Mapsforge 0.4.0. Locus uses its own mapsforge extension so complete functionality isn't always for sure.
Everything should be self-explanatory without a key, as far as it's possible with the possibilities of mapsforge. Therefore I based it on the presentation on paper maps and guideposts in German and Austrian areas.
Unified symbols are used which are the same as in Openstreetmap/Mapnik, as well as the colors of their captions. At higher zoom levels names of amenities and areas are shown. As many things which are relevant for hiking and travelling as possible are shown without coming too much to the front or eliminating one another - e.g. big symbols or captions.
Variations:
Key aspect is to have good overview for all features which are relevant for mountain hiking and perceptibility of paths and track, especially their difficulty and character (or if there isn't any information about that). As Elevate is the basis for the other variations characteristics like the display of landscape features are included in those.
As this is a cycling version instead of hiking routes cycling routes are shown strongly. The highly emphasized footways and paths of Elevate are slimmer and difficulty and visibility isn't marked.
Also mountain bike levels of difficulty are marked.
For sparsely populated/mapped areas, mostly backcountry usage.
All elements of Elevate and Elevelo (except mountain bike difficulty levels) are shown, hiking and cycling routes as well as the highly emphasized footways and paths in one map, as well as showing everything as soon as possible. Therefore the colored dots at low zoom levels aren't necessary.
In densely mapped areas this variation is not recommended, in those it is slow and unclear.
If cycling and hiking route are on one way the cycling route is rendered dashed above the hiking route so both are visible.
This is a light version which is especially useful in cities, for example for sightseeing or for everyday life.
Neither hiking nor cycling routes are shown. The highly emphasized footways and paths of Elvate are discreet and difficulty and visibility is not marked.
Additionally for better overview at lower zoom levels peaks and colored dots are missing. Therefore this variation is most suitable for finding names of localities.

Most important is the support of Christian of Openandromaps which made it possible to share my theme on his project website, and has added tons of features which I and others wished for to his maps. Also I got great feedback and inspiration from lots of comments and emails and lots of testing and developing. All this lead to a new, (mostly) original theme which is now used by several other themes, some announced here.
Thanks a lot, I never imagined that. Also thanks to Orux for making such a great app!
As I haven't posted something about Elevate here since the start of the new forum, I use the recent big update of Openandromaps and Elevate as a reason to start a thread again.
Most important hiking features like trail_visibility, wilderness_hut, safety measures etc. are there now. I don't know any online OSM map which has that many details for hikers, and this one is offline and as a space saving mapsforge file.
So if anyone hasn't tried

As I developed Elevate at hdpi resolution (233dpi), a often mentioned point was that everything is too small on very high resolution smartphones with xhdpi (300dpi+) or even xxhdpi (450dpi+). I want to solve that problem with the new version, so now are two new options included - Elevate_L und Elevate_XL.
It was necessary to completely rework the symbols and patterns, so a lot has changed in the normal version too.
As I don't have access to xxhdpi smartphones I would really appreciate comments of owners of xxhdpi device, like Galaxy S4, HTC One, Nexus 5, LG G2, Sony XPeria Z... about Elevate_XL!
I am happy about any other kind of feedback as well.
PS. Thanks to dsvilko for the size conversion script!

Do you have any font size multiplicator set in Oruxmaps?
Is the symbol size OK?

Quick tip: you can use digital zoom to simulate a different device. It will look jagged, but size-wise you get a good idea about how it works.

You're right, at the moment I'm using the rather delicate "Elegant" version of paths, which are good for city usuage in comparison to the massive "Elevate" version with emphasis on footways and paths. Maybe something inbetween would be right, I'll look into it.

You're right, the lines for uphill are not ideal, but as several users wanted to have the original OAM MTB tags included seem to have been satisfied by it. I didn't give a different solution much thought - you have probably
As I have just looked at your colored dots I just got a different idea...

It's always best to directly move the zip file into the mapstyles folder within android, and unzip it there completely. I use ES Explorer for that.
Just follow those instructions step by step:

As I don't have a device with 480dpi the XL themes are only tested in an emulator, so if anyone could give me feedback if they work as expected on real 480dpi devices would be great!

I updated the Elevate themes today.
The biggest news: there are now special versions for the new OruxMaps 6.0 version, which was published yesterday.
As it renders many details in different sizes because of the used mapsforge 0.4 version, the new OruxMaps themes are optimized for that. Also with OruxMaps 6.0 the themes (and maps) can now easily installed, just use your Android browser and press on "Install".
All changes:
2.3.0 18/11/14
- added themes optimized for OruxMaps 6
- optimized rendering for mapsforge 0.4+
- moved large patterns to lower zoom levels
- changed motorway_junction, peak rendering zoom 13 and lower, track casings
- added map border

Tobias

I noticed that some icons disappear when the zoom decreases. However I do not understand why some of them do before others.
For instance, in this example the drinking water icon disappears as the zoom is decreased before the restaurant icon:
Is there a way to change the priority of icons so they stay on the screen longer? I am more interested in some of them more than others!!

In this example it's just bad luck that the restaurant icon is shown and drinking water not.
It's a bit complicated:
Zoom level 16 in the new Oruxmaps version means real zoom level 15 in the map. At this level both icons can be visible, but in a crowded area only one will show if there is space. So the farther you decrease the zoom level, the less icons are visible. At the mapsforge version Oruxmaps uses there is no real priority management possible, you can only limit at which zoom levels icons are shown. So if you set zoom-min in the xml-file for restaurants to zoom-min="16" or larger, the restaurant symbol won't appear and can't eliminate the drinking water.

Tobias

– enhanced routes: added seperate color for local hiking routes (yellow), better visibility of route refs, some fine-tuning
– added separate rendering for MTB-scale 5+6, water_well, ele for cave_entrance, inhabited landuses color for lower zooms
– optimized low zoom markers, major highway casings
– loosened dy value for OruxMaps so higher dpi themes can be used on lower dpi devices (e.g. 240dpi on 160dpi) and font-size a bit enlarged with OruxMaps setting
– limited paths/footway/steps/MTB-scale to zoom 13+
– removed POI areas with tunnel=yes
– combined all accompanying .txt-files

I haven't tested the new beta yet, the themes are made for the release (=play store) version. I will release an adjusted version once the new version is no beta anymore, maybe a test version in advance. At the moment I'm quite busy otherwise, so I hope it takes some time until the release
Maybe the normal version of Elevate (means not the OruxMaps/Locus versions) work better again with the beta version.

Hi, Tobias;
You are right, the final version will take more time.
But the mapsforge libraries that are added to the current beta version should be the final libraries (0.5.0) including the support to renderthemes v4,

Yes, I'm already playing a bit with that, thanks for the quick move to 0.5.0
Because of rendertheme v4 and all its new possibilities I'm really looking forward to use it, but that means I'm not just gonna fix those turning circles, but lots of new stuff (easier variations with styles, permanent display of elements, priorities, symbol positioning, svgs...) - sounds like fun and I will need the time till release to add it all, so it's good to have the beta version already.
Best regards,
Tobias

Here is a preview with svg icons:
This is work in progress, and by far not feature complete. A release version (probably with a PNG icon version, different sizes and Elements variation) will come with the play store release of this OruxMaps version.
I just made a quick conversion of Elevate 2.4, so it's not much tested.
I'm happy for bug reports like this:
Wow that was a fast implementation.
Looks great.
Turning circles are also ok now.
One idea:
If I select "cycling" style, I can select mtb.
Now OM shows colored trials.
When I uncheck MTB OM should show a normal path/way.
Is that possible with the new theme format?
Danke Thomas
Thanks for testing and finding this bug
It just happened because you can switch off paths with mountain bike scale, what you couldn't till now. I will include a fall back path rendering for that case.
Best regards,
Tobias

There are many advantages with the possibilities of priorities for rendering captions and symbols, place names are much more reliably shown. Also I put all symbols into switchable categories. All hiking routes can be switched off as well, and also strong cycling and hiking routes for high zoom levels are now possible. Additional test and implementation of the new abilities are planed, therefore just a preview version:

I did a short test.
Some ways are dashed, so it looks a bit confusing.
I think in the past it was different.
Wouldn't it be better to paint a solid line with dashed filling, like tiramisu?
What do you think?

Hi Thomas,
thanks for your feedback. I've always used dashed to symbolize deteriorating track quality, something that I know form paper maps. The shorter the dashes, the worse the quality of the track, see also the map key:
Wouldn't it be better to paint a solid line with dashed filling, like tiramisu?
For me it's easier to see in bright light with a short look, than different shades of similar colors. So I stick to it - but it's nice to have choices

Tobias

Each "sub theme" stores his layers settings. Perfect
City- I switched all on,
Bike- I switched some off.
I used in the past the xl version.
With the new mf engine I use the svg version. Looks good.
Font scale I set to 1.1 symbol scale to 1.2.
I am sure, Orux will solve also the language bug, but with the workaround it is ok.

You're theme is really amazing now Tobias.Quote from: "6745th@web.de"
Thanks! I'm still amazed about all new possibilities which make the new themes much more flexible. I think I added most major features I had in mind now, so now every feedback for fine tuning is valuable. Some smaller changes for optimized rendering are still pending, but those are more subtle.

Great, that's what I had in mind - I like it when a have a choice as a user, that's why I made many categories to choose from. I hope they all make sense.
With city, do you have public transport routes AND public transport activated?

Yes, the SVG version is more flexible, good that it already found its use. The biggest problem is that some symbols are not as clear as before without the slight glow effect, for example tram stops.

All information and limits about this preview versions see above.
This version is now feature complete, so it needs some testing and help for the (machine) translated map style menu labels.
In this third preview there was a lot of fine tuning:
- Elements optimized to have as little zoom-mins as possible
- maps style menus with english, french, german, italian and spanish labels, please help with corrections of some machine translated content
- settings are remembered for each style/theme in OruxMaps
- replaced all dy for symbols with symbol-id/position
- transformed paths/footways to cycleways if bicycle=yes (cycling), transformed cycleways to footways with cycling marker if foot=yes (hiking/city)
- added different zoom mins for different styles for some symbols
- added priorities for most symbols

As many apps aren't (e.g. the current OruxMaps playstore version 6.0.7) I also added a legacy version Elevate 2.5 which has many of the improvements of Elevate 0.3, as far as possible.
Both versions can be downloaded here:
The big improvements of Elevate 3.0 are:
Map styles are now integrated in one theme file, this means hiking/cycling/city can now be selected directly, only Elements needs another theme file. The map styles differ more than before.
Overlays make it possible to switch on or off of different elements, e.g. captions, symbols, protected areas etc.
Additional overlays are showing now better visible and emphasized hiking or cycling routes or are a public transport network is shown.
Priorities make it possible that settlement names and important symbols are shown much more reliably.
A version with SVG-symbols is now scalable for all kinds of devices. The size variants are now only necessary because the glow of symbols there makes them easier to see.
Elements now supports all map styles as in Elevate with hiking, city or cycling. The difference is that everything is shown as soon it is contained in the map data.
Additionally many improvements and new map elements have been added, in Elevate 3.0 as well as in Elevate 2.5:
Cycling: cycleways are now emphasized and surface information is shown.
Cycling: paths and footways with cycling=yes are now rendered like cycleways.
Accompanying cycle lanes/tracks on roads are now shown.
Hiking/city: cycleways with foot=yes are now rendered like footways.
New settlement names like capitals, farms and quarters are now shown.
And many more smaller improvements and additions.

I cannot find reference to which version of Elevate is correct for non-beta versions of OruxMaps

Low zooms are much more usable now, including state and mountain range names. Larger areas of interest and their captions appear earlier, smaller later.
For better visibility some highway colors have been changed, most prominently: (inter)national cycling routes are now violet, regional are red.
And a lot of smaller changes to optimize behaviour at different zoom levels.
All changes:
3.1.0 08/10/15
- low zoom areas are now much more usable: names for states and mountain ranges/areas are displayed, names of lakes/glaciers/woods/mountain ranges/protected for larger areas are displayed earlier and for smaller areas later (differs for city style)
- it's easier to distinguish between routes and highways as colors are optimized: (inter)national cycling routes are now violet, regional are red (already changed mtb routes and colors of major highways in earlier versions)
- improved Elements: limited symbols and captions somewhat to make low zooms less random and more usable
- added place=state, natural=mountain_range, natural=mountain_area for low zooms, bboxweight for poly_labels, zoom-min for ditch/stream/drain/river/canal/railway/pier/runway/apron/taxiway, different colors for some landscape names, small ford symbol for Elements low zooms
- changed rendering of settlement names, zoom-min for island captions/forest areas, low zoom hiking/cycling routes, captions & rendering of protected areas
- fixed rendering of low zoom motorway tunnels, volcano low zoom captions
2.6.0 08/10/15
- low zoom areas are now much more usable: names for states and mountain ranges/areas are displayed, names of lakes/glaciers/woods/mountain ranges/protected for larger areas are displayed earlier and for smaller areas later (differs for Elegant)
- it's easier to distinguish between routes and highways as colors are optimized: (inter)national cycling routes are now violet, regional are red (already changed mtb routes and colors of major highways in earlier versions)
- added place=state, natural=mountain_range, natural=mountain_area for low zooms, bboxweight for poly_labels, different colors for some landscape names, small ford symbol for Elements low zooms
- changed rendering of settlement names, zoom-min for island captions/forest areas, low zoom hiking/cycling routes, captions & rendering of protected areas
- fixed rendering of low zoom motorway tunnels, volcano low zoom captions

The big improvements of Elevate 3.0 are:
- Map styles are now integrated in one theme file, this means hiking/cycling/city can now be selected directly, only Elements needs another theme file. The map styles differ more than before.
- Overlays make it possible to switch on or off of different elements, e.g. captions, symbols, protected areas etc.
- Additional overlays are showing now better visible and emphasized hiking or cycling routes or are a public transport network is shown.
- Priorities make it possible that settlement names and important symbols are shown much more reliably.
- A version with SVG-symbols is now scalable for all kinds of devices. The size variants are now only necessary because the glow of symbols there makes them easier to see.
- Elements now supports all map styles as in Elevate with hiking, city or cycling. The difference is that everything is shown as soon it is contained in the map data.

Hallo Tobias,
heute habe ich die neueste Germany.map und die aktuelle 3er elevate Version installiert.
(Die vorherige 3er Version hat prima funktioniert)
Damit sehe ich nur die Wanderwege, nicht die mtb Routen, (Einstellung steht in orux auf Radfahren.)
Dann habe ich die 4er Version installiert, das selbe.
Dann die 2er, damit ist es OK.
2er, so soll es aussehen. Oben Rad Route r3, unten eine mtb route.
3er und 4er, Einstellung "radfahren".
CW und WW sind vermutlich wander Routen, jedenfalls keine Rad Routen.
Idee?
Beste grüße,
Thomas

Hallo Thomas,
das ist ein Bug in OruxMaps 6.5.5/6.5.4 Beta 11, die Einstellungen unter "Mapsforge theme optimieren" werden nicht angenommen, siehe hier:
Entweder Beta 10 oder 6.5.0 benutzen, oder auf den Bugfix warten.
Viele Grüße,
Tobias

The biggest change concerns access limits, those are filtered now: a way with only private/no access is only rendered as that in hiking (or cycling) mapstyle, if this access limit is also valid for pedestrians (or cyclers). Only the city mapstyle shows general access limits.

Elevate 4 and Elevate 2 have been updated. Some new map features are rendered, and the theme is ready for some internal transition of sac_scale processing. Also the special buildings overlay has been renamed to "special buildings + orientation" and guidepost has been moved to this overlay.Quote from: "eartrumpet"

Hi!
I am working with mapsforge 0.8.0 libraries, that support hillshading.
But I do not get it to work, because I think hillshading attributes should be included in the theme. Can you confirm that?

But I do not get it to work, because I think hillshading attributes should be included in the theme. Can you confirm that?
As far as I get it there's a element to be positioned where you think it fits in the theme (those are the default values):
<hillShading zoom-min="5" zoom-max="17" magnitude="64" layer="5" />

Thanks;
there was a bug in the library with negative longitudes, now is working with default theme.
added 0.8 mapsforge libraries to the last beta version.
I think that hillshading requires themes version v6.

Big changes are a new overlay for extended road surface information, new via ferrata rendering, solid/dashed borders for cycleways and changed visibility information for paths without sac_scale. Check out the map key for further information. And lots of smaller changes, too:
4.2.0 06/10/17
- new optional overlay for extended road surface information of primary/secondary/tertiary/track roads and missing surface in cycling/MTB/hiking map style
- new via ferrata rendering: added non-switchable via_ferrata marking and highway=via_ferrata (for maps starting October 2017 and later)
- added dashed borders for non-paved cycleways (cycling/MTB), leisure=swimming_area, leisure=beach_resort, separate symbol for leisure=water_park, bboxweight for archipelagos and islands (for maps starting October 2017 and later), patterns for camp_site/caravan_site/golf_course (in case symbols for accomodation/sports are switched off), surface for turning circles
- changed administrative borders, all areas with strokes to areas with separate line for VTM compatibility
- removed "no trail_visibility available" marking for paths/footways without sac_scale/mtb_scale, old raw_sac_scale values (which were used in maps earlier than August 2017)
2.8.0 06/10/17
- added dashed borders for non-paved cycleways (cycling), leisure=swimming_area, leisure=beach_resort, separate symbol for leisure=water_park, bboxweight for archipelagos and islands (for maps starting October 2017 and later), surface for turning circles
- new via ferrata rendering: added non-switchable via_ferrata marking and highway=via_ferrata (for maps starting October 2017 and later)
- removed "no trail_visibility available" marking for paths/footways without sac_scale, old raw_sac_scale values (which were used in maps earlier than August 2017)
- changed administrative borders

I have mentioned this to you before. I find all the many different track types incredibly confusing and hard to remember.
Who can remember all this unless they bring a paper copy of the map key with them when walking...... your map key is 21 pages!
PLEASE PLEASE RELEASE A VERSION WITHOUT ALL THE TRACK TYPES !!
For the hiking style you have
Then you also have further segmentation by broken and dashed lines or two thin dashed lines !
and then you have regular uncategorized trails
and then their is roads,train lines etc etc.
Any competent hiker can use the contours to work out the steepness of the terrain.. and a number of the trail types are wrong or not marked.. some trails marked as red are just a gentle slope others are very technical steep slopes involving scrambling up cliffs..(not your fault or responsibility this is just openstreet map contributor error but it underscores the point that why have all these track types when a user cant rely on it to be reasonably accurate)
Sorry for this rant. I love your maps and very much appreciate you do all this for free. I just find this one thing very much reduces my safety (to confusing because oruxmaps also has different colours for sections of the route so easy to think im on the route but actually ive followed a different trail the same colour as the orux route) and enjoyment of using the map. If you just have an option to not show all the trail type and just mark all trail as brown then problem would be solved. If others want all the different types then it is still there.

Everyone who is used to the way hiking paths are marked in the Eastern Alps, like this:Who can remember all this unless they bring a paper copy of the map key with them when walking.Quote from: "wildwanderer"
It's formatted for on-screen-use on a smartphone, not for printing. The relevant section is just two pages, you could print this in credit card size and attach it to your phone..... your map key is 21 pages!Quotehttps://www.openandromaps.org/wp-content/users/tobias/Elevate_map_key.pdf
PLEASE PLEASE RELEASE A VERSION WITHOUT ALL THE TRACK TYPES !!Quote
Use city or cycling map style. Or a different theme:
That's just the short version, if you look- Hiking]Blue Yellow[/color] - Mountain hiking: partially steep, fall hazard possible- - Demanding mountain hiking] RedBlack[/color] - (Difficult/demanding)Alpine hiking/Via Ferrata: no trail, very exposed, climbing, glaciers
Yes, by user demand, an in a way that is not very distracting if you're not interested, and quite logic as well - the more broken the dashes, the more difficult the trail.Then you also have further segmentation by broken and dashed lines or two thin dashed lines !Quote
Of course, should I not show them? Sac_scale should only be used in the mountains, so the majority of footways/paths will never have sac_scale. But showing them in the same color would be simply wrong, so there has to be a different one.and then you have regular uncategorized trailsQuote
Yes, it's a map. Should be there.and then their is roads,train lines etc etc.Quote
As written above, steepness is only one of many variables that are part of sac_scale.Any competent hiker can use the contours to work out the steepness of the terrain..Quote
Then it's up to you to correct the data, that's part of OSM. Here in the Eastern Alps the vast majority of markings is correct, this theme is made for this. Of course it can be used in every other area on this planet, and I do this as well. An my experience isn't that bad. Mostly it isn't marked, but then you have the brown paths you demand.and a number of the trail types are wrong or not marked.. some trails marked as red are just a gentle slope others are very technical steep slopes involving scrambling up cliffs..(not your fault or responsibility this is just openstreet map contributor error but it underscores the point that why have all these track types when a user cant rely on it to be reasonably accurate)Quote
Have you ever achieved anything with something like this?Sorry for this rant.Quote
Thanks, and I have stated here and in the map legend why I do things I do:I love your maps and very much appreciate you do all this for free.Quote
If you're not satisfied, this theme might be not for you. That was my starting point for making Elevate, and that's why the license of Elevate allows everyone to modify it to fit their need and also publish it.
You can define in OruxMaps the route that it looks nothing like anything contained in Elevate. Especially the "route path effect" helps. Also all paths in Elevate are dashed, so it's very easy to distinguish if you choose to have a solid route without "route path effect".I just find this one thing very much reduces my safety (to confusing because oruxmaps also has different colours for sections of the route so easy to think im on the route but actually ive followed a different trail the same colour as the orux route) and enjoyment of using the map.Quote
The option would need an extra map style. I use map styles only for really major differences (hiking/cycling/mtb/city), so this won't happen.If you just have an option to not show all the trail type and just mark all trail as brown then problem would be solved. If others want all the different types then it is still there.Quote

Some time ago an additional license was added, so Elevate can now be used commercially (but then changing it isn't allowed). As Elevate is now the main mapstyle for OpenAndroMaps and not the Andromaps mapstyles, and not an additional exclusive one.
Elevate 2 is now deprecated and won't be updated anymore, as it was already announced in the forum. Most apps, like c:geo recently, now support mapsforge rendertheme V4 mapstyles with mapstyle menus, therefore the parallel development doesn't make much sense anymore.
4.3.0 01/05/19
- new switchable overlays: paths + tracks (city), marking of permitted foot/cycle paths (hiking/cycling/mtb) - for countries where usage is forbidden by default or questionable
- added transformation of bridleways to paths/cycleways if using by foot/bike is legal (hiking/cycling/mtb), transformation of paths with bicycle=yes AND mtb:scale=1+ or sac_scale=T2+ to cycleways but with red dashes (cycling), ft_permit and ft_destination to other positive foot-rules
- changed old network=mtb to newer network_mtb=lay_mtb, MTB: leisure=track with mtb:scale is now rendered like MTB trails, emphasized access=no pattern

I released a new Elevate version. This is now optimized for mapsforge 0.12 and higher (at least 0.6.1), as the OruxMaps version which uses 0.12 is still in beta phase (now beta35!), the optimizations for the curved texts are currently only usable in the beta version.
All changes:
4.4.0 15/04/20
- changed to rendertheme V5 and removed deprecated tags, so now at least mapsforge 0.6.1 is necessary
- optimized all pathtexts for mapsforge 0.12 rendering (esp. route refs and street names, increased tiny font sizes), optimized oneway symbols
- added man_made=petroleum_well, attraction=summer_toboggan, priority to playground, rendering for strict nature reserves (protect_class=1), rendering of protect_class=2/3/4 for maps starting 03/2020
- changed rendering for buildings=ruins/buildings with historic=ruins, removed symbol for ruins when they are just buildings=ruins
- removed some unnecessary slashes in waymarks ressource links, small fix for hike_node/housenumbers, code cleaned of Locus Engine optimizations

The current Elevate version 4.4.0 is optimized for Mapsforge 0.12 and higher, which now supports curved path texts. E.g. contourline captions, street names and route refs use this. But this kind of rendering doesn't work so well in older Mapsforge versions, e.g. all current non-beta releases of OruxMaps. OruxMaps Beta uses Mapsforge 0.12 since 6 months, but it's a really long beta period, so still no final release. I wanted to release Elevate 4.4.0 after the beta phase is finished, so there was a long time only a release candidate for Elevate 4.4.0. But now there were too many changes in the maps that it was time to release it. Especially the data in the maps for protected areas changed, so users complained that Elevate 4.3.3.1 wouldn't show those anymore.
But there is still no end in sight for the OruxMaps beta phase (and maybe other apps still use an older Mapsforge version). So I decided to update Elevate 4.3.3.1 to 4.3.3.2 and release it as a legacy version. The only change is compatibility for protected areas with maps from 03/2020 or newer.

New year, new Elevate. For all upcoming maps starting from January this one is needed, as the tags in the maps for protected areas have changed (and doesn't work with older maps).
All Changes:
4.4.3 06/01/21
– changed protected areas including new protect_class values (starting with maps January 2021)
– added blue line for paths with cycling permitted when option render like cycle ways is disabled (like in hiking), special rendering for natural/landuse areas with bridge=yes
– fixed cycleway lanes/tracks (now only shown in cycling)

Hi Eartrumpet & Orux
Thanks for your work : "orux + openandromaps + elevate" is just amazing !
Here is a feedback on mountain trails.
When hiking in the mountains, I keep a close look on trail difficulty, to avoid sac T5 without proper equipment for example.
In the current Elevate, the colors are confusing for me, and high-difficulty trails appear in black, and may be overlooked or confused with other marks, while they could be dangerous.
So I thought of using a green-blue-orange-red colormap for sac, but the green was getting confused with many other marks, so I converged to:
T1=black (easy), T2=blue (ok), T3=orange (hard), T4=red (dangerous/alpinism), T5=pink, and T6=purple (this one is very rare)
The visibility modifies the dash/dots, and the unrated sac are light gray.
For this, I modified manually the xml so I probably crashed a few other close legends such as tracks and horse tracks...
Is there a "simple" way / software to edit the stylesheet ?
Here is a comparison of Elevate and the modification, where I find the visibility more satisfactory for my usage.

4.4.5 06/03/21
- added mtb:scale and mtb:scale:uphill to highway=steps in MTB-mapstyle
- fixed error in cliffs

Quote from: DarWog on March 02, 2021, 10:07:58 PMFor me black is fine, as black is in our parts of the alps the color for dangerous paths (or ski pistes etc.). I use these colors as they are used on the guideposts (here's an example (https://www.schilder-werbetechnik.de/media/images/info/Schild-rehtsweisend-Alpen.jpg)), so for those familiar with the eastern alps these colors are really self-evident. But when other colors work better for you, great. I just can't provide different versions for all different colors people are used to in other parts of the world.

With the new Elevate 4.5, there are lots of changes to the displayed POI symbols and captions. There are now more colors which depend on categories that are identical to the POI options. The categories have been resorted and all symbols have a more unified look. Also the mapstyle options now have category letters (R=Route, W=Ways, P=POIs, A=Areas). That all those changed symbols can be displayed at all I've renamed the symbol folder from ele_res to ele-res - the old one can be safely deleted.
Also lots of new POIs have been added some other changes:
4.5.0 21/04/21
- many changes in POI symbols - new colors, remodeled categories, unified symbols, reworked many symbols, category letters for mapstyle options (R=Route, W=Ways, P=POIs, A=Areas)
- restructured POI categories
- added minor contour lines in cycling for ZL13/14, some access additions, historic=stone, shop=farm, man_made=wastewater_plant, man_made=water_works, amenity=ice_cream, sport=cliff_diving, sport=free_flying, sport=climbing_adventure, sport=roller_skating, sport=skateboard, sport=miniature_golf
- changed aerial ways rendering, removed workaround for missing building tags, removed symbol for water_well/drinking (now same as drinking_water)

Elevate 5.0 has been released. The main changes are there to match the new v5 generations of OpenAndroMaps, which need mapsforge maps V5 support in the apps. Therefore the 5.0 version in Elevate, too.
The new version works in most parts with the older V4 maps, but it is not recommended.
All changes:
5.0 05/12/21
- made for next OAM map generation based on mapsforge maps V5, starting December 2021
- new routes and separate route refs: hknetwork=own, network=ocn, mtbnetwork=omn, ref_hike/rec_cycle/ref_mtb
- better waymarks support: OSMC waycolors orange/brown/gray, lots of additional, new OSMC foreground/backgrounds, changed rendering of OSMC waycolors
- changed symbols fee=yes symbols for parking and toilets, removed obsolete uwn/ucn networks
- added building=greenhouse

There's a new Elevate version available. The biggest change is that crags from OS data are now rendered for UK maps. But other countries get several new features, too.
All changes:
5.2 06/11/22
- added crags for UK maps, smaller symbols for parking lane/street side, amenity=parking_entrance, natural=sinkhole, natural=crater for nodes, highway=busway, names for various landuses to all map styles, mtb_role=forward/backward, landuse=plant_nursery, barrier=toll_booth, railway=train_station_entrance, railway=subway_entrance
- changed areas of touristic attractions, walls, parking zoom levels, non-route refs for smaller highways

I've been using Elevate for a bunch of years now for hiking in Oruxmaps and I always appreciate the work that goes into this and andromaps.
Admittedly, i've been using "Elevate L" for a while simply because i can see more hiking trail names at a lower zoom level. I've just upgraded to Elevate 5, so thought I should ask if the L version is no longer maintained as I suspect? If so, is there a way I can get similar results in the standard, maintained version? I tried messing with the scaling settings of the mapsforge section of Oruxmaps, but didn't seem to have an effect on what I wanted. It's not a big deal, but would be nice to know if there's a quick fix, so I can drop the old variants.
Thanks

Quote from: ncohafmuta on March 04, 2023, 05:24:41 PMThe size variants have been discontinued with Elevate 4 in 2016, so quite a while ago (a bit longer in Elevate 2 legacy version). They were meant for apps which didn't scale maps for high pixel density displays, but modern apps like current OruxMaps scale this automatically. So I'm not quite sure which effect you are after, as this would be a different then the intended one with Elevate L (which was just to display the map content the same on devices with ~320ppi as with ~160ppi).

You wrote "more hiking trail names at a lower zoom level" - more names usually can only displayed if they are smaller, so they don't overlap and cancel each other. So to display more names, you should use Settings > Maps > Mapsforge settings > Mapsforge text size with a factor <1. But I'm not sure that's what you intend, as in "L" the text size used to be larger and therefore lesse names that can be rendered.
If you meant to display trail names earlier/in lower zoom levels at all, you should use Elements theme (which is made for sparsely populated/mapped areas or countries).
Best regards,
Tobias

QuoteIf you meant to display trail names earlier/in lower zoom levels at all
Yeah, that's what i was after.
I've been restricting Elements use for times when i need all the elements available displayed on screen vs just the required ones when hiking (so as to not clutter my map), but i'll play with it and the text scales more and see if i get a better balance. Like i said, not a big deal at all.
Thanks for the reply!

I can find where store the Mapsforge or renderthermes (SD card) but cannot find where to SELECT the different render themes. I used to use Map icon/Map tweaks/Maps forge theme/<Default, Elements or Elevate> but in v10.1.1 Map icon only gives map selection.
, you should use Settings > Maps > Mapsforge settings > Mapsforge text size with a factor <1. But I'm not sure that's what you...
I actually did stumble across a way to choose the theme, but can't believe it's the only way to select theme....I used the older version of the app to determine what the icon is for "Mapsforge theme" and added that icon to the map screen. Is the a more straightforward way to select Mapsforge theme???

Hello nahannidog,
do you use the "classical" user interface or the unified interface?
With the classical interface, the way you described still works (for me):
map symbol (top button bar) - map tweaks - mapsforge theme -> possibility to choose theme
or
left menu - mapsforge theme -> possibility to choose theme
With the unified interface:
left menu - mapsforge maps -> under map style you see all your installed themes
Best regards
Lenz

Problems Elevate with Orux10.0.x GP with VTM (Rotating labels in vector: maps-Settings - Maps- Mapsforge settings - VTM map viewer'): without VTM viewer Oruxmaps works perfectly with OpenAndroMaps and "Elevate" (last version 5.2) that I can configure (mtb, city, walking,...).
However if I activate VTM viewer I can not change the theme or configure it (it works with last theme and setting I used without VTM viewer)!
Clearing the cache doesn't fix anything :-\ VTM viewer is very nice and it's a pity not to use it......x...
I got non solution from Orux..
Ps: the same thing with previus 9.7beta18 as described

Sounds like an OruxMaps issue, as the map menus work well with other apps that use VTM. Although Elevate is best used with mspsforge, as it uses rendering styles/rules that are not available in VTM.

Elevate_Winter on OruxMaps AM
Good morning, I have both OruxMaps GP on my smartphone and OruxMaps AM on my Windows 11 PC purchased with Amazon Appstore.
The Elevate 5.3.1 theme shows the altitude contour lines but the ski slopes appear in light blue, almost invisible. With the default theme the ski slopes appear colored according to the difficulty "easy", "intermediate", "advanced", etc. , but the level curves disappear.
On this site I found the theme "Elevate_Winter":
https://www.senotto.de/Tipps_Tricks/GPS/OAM_Winter/OAM_Winter.html
which has both contour lines and colored ski slopes.
On the smartphone with OruxMaps GP I managed to install the "Elevate_Winter" theme, however on the Windows 11 PC with OruxMaps AM I couldn't find the folder where to insert the "Elevate_Winter.xml" file and its "ele-res" folder, so it doesn't work .
I ask if it is possible that in the future the "Elevate_Winter" theme will be made official so that it can also be installed on the Windows 11 PC with OruxMaps AM.
Thank you
George

You can find the solution here

That is Orux runs in a virtual machine called WSA on your pc and you have to share files between Windows and Android (WSA).

Nothing, today I tried again to repurchase this OruxMaps AM app. I didn't succeed.
I started from scratch, also reinstalled Amazon Appstore, I started again from this app on Windows 11:
Start – all apps - Amazon Appstore:
I don't understand where the problem is, I had already tried a few days ago, it's a continuous loop with no exit. I have to give up.
Now I'm using Garmin BaseCamp on windows 11
Anyway, thanks for the replies.
