STANDARD HIKE AND CYCLE THEME

Important news from mapdate 1st of July 2015 on:

The colors of regional and local cycle and hike routes changed:

Regional hike and cycle routes which were rendered darkblue are now lightblue
Local hike and cycle routes which were rendered lightblue are now darkblue

Why?:

The color code of these routes were derived from Andy Allens OpenCycleMaps.
However, Tobias changed this in his latest Elevate3 Theme and it clearly proved that this is the better solution by far cause dark color are better to be seen on a smartphone providing a much better overview at low zoom rates.
So, easy enough, I copied Tobias’s solution 😉

For mountain paths the visibilty is now rendered
from easy to find paths to most serious navigation
= continous line / dashed line / wide dashed line
while the information about difficulty is provided by the color of the line (as it was bevore)

Cycle routes: color code

•••••••••• dotted red > International and National cycle routes (icn,ncn)
•••••••••• dotted blue > Local cycle routes (lcn)
•••••••••• dotted dark blue > Regional cycle routes (rcn)
•••••••••• dotted green > MTB-Routes
— — — — dashed dark blue > all ways tagged as cycleways, not belonging to a route

Color code of the paths (highway=path|footway), thin solid line (dashed for most difficult paths)

—————————— Gray: no informations about difficult available
———————— Orange: hiking way without any problems
———————— Blue: mountain hike, you need good condition and equipment
———————— Red: demanding, steep mountain/alpine hike, sometimes easy scrambling may be possible
— — — — — —Black: demanding alpine path or fixed rope route, some scrambling envolved, only for experienced hikers/climbers. It is required to refer to local Alpine/Climbing guides bevore you go on these paths!!

Assignement to the codes provided by OpenStreetmap:

Colorcode in map>	Orange	Blue	Red	Black/dashed
Meaning >	easy	mountain hike	demanding, Alpin	most difficult, some scambling envolved or fixed rope route for experienced hikers only please refer to appropriate alpine guides
dav_scale	0/T1/yellow	T2/blue	T3/red	T3/black
sac_sale	0/T1	T2	T3	>=T4
				via_ferrata

Priority of the scales:

ways tagged as “via_ferrata_scale=*” (except via_ferrata_scale=0*) or “sport=via_ferrata” are _always_ rendered black dashed.
The sac_scale have priority over the dav_scale
