Updating the Map Layout – 09.11.2009

Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English e Deutsch.

After the two beta maps were largely well accepted and hopefully all bugs are ironed out, this map update brings quite drastical changes to the street design/layout. Now there is even more differentiation. mtb:scale (1-5) and mtb:scale:uphill (0-5) will still be displayed by markers besides the way, sac:scale and tracktype will directly influence the design of pathes/footways/cycleways (except if mtb:scale takes preference). There are now distinct types for unclassified/minor , highway=fixme/road and some other road types that before shared the same layout with residential. Also Pedestrian and as well as living_street are now heavily differentiated based on whether cycling is allowed or not. footways without any tags get their own unique design.

Also autorouting has gotten many new modes so that now you can much better finetune your journey (on GPS units that let you choose the respective transport modes) - please report any roads that you are being blocked incorrectly (could be on delivery/taxi/emergency) including ALL of their tags if you have some roads barred in one of the modes even though they should be open (or e.g. getting routed in racing bicycle mode using emergency onto mountain trails that are clearly identifiable).

To understand the new layout have a look at the following new map legend:

 

Beta Maps 7.11.2009

Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English e Deutsch.

I am uploading new beta maps that hopefully sort out the problems that were in 05.11 and have some improvements in layout. Also autorouting has changed a bit - look at transport modes here: https://openmtbmap.org/about/autorouting/

There is now also a poor mans race cycling mode and pedestrian now allows routing also on via ferattas....

Maps should be online by 24:00 today (I discovered one more bug, therefore I deleted beta maps and start reuploading as of 22:10)
