Title: How to activate the mapsforge label layer?
Post by: toc-rox on January 31, 2016, 08:57:50 AM

Is there an option to active the mapsforge label layer?



Labels are sometimes supressed (or cut off). This occures very often at tile boundaries. The label layer avoids this problem.



The first screenshot shows the tile boundaries and all labels (label layer activated):

The seconds screenshot shows OruxMaps 6.5 with some missing labels (see place names):

I second that, label layer really solves some of the last problems with mapsforge maps. One issue could be that only a part of the mapsforge library is used and it's not so easy to implement it.

There are also new developments at mapsforge, 0.6 has been released with support for multilangual maps, and at the moment POI databases are in development which Christian would support with OAM as well.



PS - AFAIK it's not possible to activate the label layer at the moment
