New Render-PC in operation, new V5-Beta-Maps

Many thanks to all the donors who
made the new equipment possible

The new rendermachine is running since this morning and is currently being fed with the latest Planet-File. The aim is to put new maps under the Christmas tree for our community. At the same time, these maps are being completely renovated.

Test maps and a beta version of the new Elevate redertheme are available here:

Whats new, in a nutshell:

• The MTB routes are now rendered independently and by category (like the cycle routes) – this means that supra-regional MTB routes such as in the UK or the Granittrail in the Waldviertel are highlighted prominently.
• Overlaps between bike and MTB routes are now neatly resolved
• Short names of MTB/bike/hike routes are now separated, this is only now possible with the fast rendermachine and Mapsforge V5
• The connections between route nodes (NL) are now rendered later at higher zoom levels for better overview
• Dozens of OSMC hiking symbols are added
• etc..
