I noticed that the number of characters used to describe the ref tag of a relation is five letters.
For example: this route has a tag ref on six letters: “AVML16”, but only appears AVML1

Hi Vancori,

I set the refs to 5/4 Chars in the beginning of Mapsforge cause this was enough with the usual 3″ display at that time.
Ok, with the new, bigger devices lets try 6 Chars with the next update.

However, keep in mind that the chance that labels are displayed in mapsforge decreases with the lenght of the labels. Especially if there is a cycle and a hike route on the same way.
We will test the 6 chars with the next update an I will switch back if there are problems with small displays.

Best regards, Christian
