Indeed you're right - I just checked and I think I simply did not download DEM files in that area.

The black bars therefore seem to occur between a piece of map that has DEM files and a piece of map that doesn't.

While it's good I could "fix" it by simply downloading the missing coverage, IIRC previously OruxMaps simply rendered the map without any hill shading where it was not available, without any glitches like apparent now?

Hi all,

I recently noticed an odd bug that causes rendering errors (black bars / blocks) when using (Mapsforge) OpenAndroMaps together with DEM files from http://viewfinderpanoramas.org/Coverage%20map%20viewfinderpanoramas_org3.htm.

(Other constellations might be affected, but this is the configuration with which I can reproduce the issue.)

This issue has been reported in OAM forums twice without solution so far:

• https://www.openandromaps.org/oam-forums/topic/schwarze-bloecke-in-germany-karte-mit-oruxmaps
• https://www.openandromaps.org/oam-forums/topic/schwarzer-balken-in-oruxmaps-mit-openandromaps

@afgb1977 Mentioned that this issue has also been reported in the OruxMaps Telegram group and recommended cleaning the raster cache. Unfortunately this does *not* solve the issue for me.

Find an example screenshot attached (more screenshots in the topics linked above).

Maps from OpenAndroMaps ship with nicely curated lists of POIs these days and OruxMaps gained functionality to look them up easily by clicking in the map (see attachement).

Unfortunately the POIs are a lot less useful then they could be as

• Text in the popup is not selectable (so can't be copy pasted)
• Links / e-mails / phone numbers / etc. that could theoretically be opened in a suitable app are not clickable

It would be great if clicking / copying of items from the POIs would be made possible!
