So for all Mac OSx users - here is now a description for dummies - showing really every click you need to do: <a href=\"https:\/\/openmtbmap.org\/tutorials\/install-maps-mac-osx\/\">https:\/\/openmtbmap.org\/tutorials\/install-maps-mac-osx\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>VeloMap: avoid steps only with toll=yes, not with avoid unpaved roads...<\/p>\n<p>Add dav_scale for corrections against sac_scale (not used much yet though...)<\/p>\n<p>add place=isolated_dwelling<\/p>\n<p>remove military from resolution 24 (will be shown in resolution 22 and 21 only - so huge military areas are less of an map obstruction)<\/p>\n<p>Add amenity=clinic, add natural=hill, consider backcountry=yes for campsites, and tent=yes for caravan sites. Better naming of amenity=fuel<\/p>\n<p>Remove cemetary=yes from polygons. Add waterway=canal, waterway=drain and waterway=stream also as polygon. Add back landuse=field - but show it very very decent (mainly visible on PC - too low contrast for GPS by default).<\/p>\n<p>Consider vehicle:forward=no, and bicycle:backward=yes. Also consider bicycle=dismount<\/p>\n<p>add highway abandoned \/ disused when analysing tags on roads.<\/p>\n<p>water=pond resolution 23 not 22 (add exception).<\/p>\n<p>Footways, better classification if not usable for bikes&nbsp; and make them less visible.<\/p>\n<p>\tshop=sports and sports centre less visible (resolution 23\/24 instead of 22).<\/p>\n<p>Don&#39;t render leisure=* and tourism=* as wildcard anymore for unknown values. Added some more values (all top 20 included).<\/p>\n<p>Add rules for Slovakia and Czech Republic for Kraj and Okres substitution.<\/p>\n<h4>\n\tBugfixes:<\/h4>\n<p>update tinted background colour in high contrast typfiles (there was a typo that got copied over - only noticeable on newer GPS, older converted to white anyhow).<\/p>\n<p>fix many bugs on the Mac OSx maps - mainly about address search.<\/p>\n<p>fix bug mountain_pass=yes not rendered...<\/p>\n<p>Fix Error that Asia Installation was not possible to send to GPS (mdx\/mdr in registry but not actually present).<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p>Well long time no see, here are News from OpenMTBMap and VeloMap again.
