September 2, 2018 at 22:29 #25455TobiasKeymasterIt’s been often requested that there would be a map key also for all symbols. I finally found a way to do a basic overview (automatically generated) which is now included on the Elevate page and the downloadable PDF map key:

October 8, 2018 at 22:31 #25797TobiasKeymasterElevate has been updated. Mainly to support some new map features and similar treatment of surfaces of non-cycling-paths in cycling/MTB non-cycling paths as non-hiking-paths in hiking.
All changes:
4.2.6 08/10/18
– cycling/MTB style: changed rendering for footways/paths without mtb_scale/bicycle=yes etc., now similar as in hiking: brown means unpaved path/footway (or path without surface information); grey means paved path/footway (or footway without surface information)
– added watermill, windpump, osmc way color orange, boundary_stone
– changed symbols for bicycle shop, cinema, rearranged drawing order of some areas2.8.6 08/10/18
– added watermill, windpump, boundary_stone

December 8, 2018 at 16:32 #26332TobiasKeymasterVersion 4.2.6.1 of Elevate brings no new changes in the theme files, but a new license that allows commercial usage of the map styles. This reflects the fact that Elevate is for a while the defacto default theme for OpenAndroMaps and not a bonus advanced theme that was available here exclusively.

May 1, 2019 at 22:31 #28360TobiasKeymasterThere’s a new Elevate update after a while. With Elevate 4.3 there are new optional overlays: in the city map style small ways like paths and tracks can be switched off, so the map will be more clear and is better usable for motorists. In hiking resp. cycling/MTB it is now possible to mark paths and tracks where the usage by foot/bike is permitted – this is important in countries where usage is forbidden/private in the first place. Also in cycling now ways are marked especially which are allowed for cycling, but are maybe too steep/rough. And as always some smaller changes.
Elevate 2 is now deprecated and won’t be updated anymore, as it was already announced in the forum. Most apps, like c:geo recently, now support mapsforge rendertheme V4 mapstyles with mapstyle menus, therefore the parallel development doesn’t make much sense anymore.
4.3.0 01/05/19
– new switchable overlays: paths + tracks (city), marking of permitted foot/cycle paths (hiking/cycling/mtb) – for countries where usage is forbidden by default or questionable
– added transformation of bridleways to paths/cycleways if using by foot/bike is legal (hiking/cycling/mtb), transformation of paths with bicycle=yes AND mtb:scale=1+ or sac_scale=T2+ to cycleways but with red dashes (cycling), ft_permit and ft_destination to other positive foot-rules
– changed old network=mtb to newer network_mtb=lay_mtb, MTB: leisure=track with mtb:scale is now rendered like MTB trails, emphasized access=no patternDeveloper of Elevate mapstyle
June 12, 2019 at 22:23 #29462TobiasKeymasterThere’s an update of Elevate 4. The option to emphasize paved cycleways/footways (Cycling/City) and show paved tracks in ZL12 was added, as well as the rendering of aboriginal lands.
All changes:4.3.1 12/06/19
– added emphasized paved cycleways resp. footpaths (cycling/city), tracktype=grade1 to ZL12 in Elevate, boundary=aboriginal_lands
– changed pipeline caption size
– small fixesDeveloper of Elevate mapstyle
July 8, 2019 at 22:17 #29935TobiasKeymasterThere’s a minor update for Elevate 4. There was in fix for NL/BE hiking nodes in the latest maps, and the map styles had to be changed for this, too. Also there is a new option to mark easy hiking paths in MTB map style.
4.3.2 08/07/19
– changed hiking nodes caption from name to addr:housenumber for maps with new tag-mapping, zoom-min for admin_level=4
– added option to show sac_scale=T1/hiking on paths without bicycle=* (may no be allowed to use by bike in certain countries)Developer of Elevate mapstyle
September 26, 2019 at 20:43 #31264TobiasKeymasterElevate has been updated. Some new map features are now rendered, and surface is now shown all the time in hiking/cycling/mtb map styles. Also if map background is turned off in city map style, bodies of water will still be shown.
All changes:
4.3.3 26/09/19
– added surface rendering for all tracks in hiking/cycling/mtb (as tracktype isn’t always consistent with surface), tourism=artwork, natural=earth_bank, natural=gully, barrier=ditch, closed=yes for man_made=groyne
– changed map background option for city – bodies of water will now show, optimized landcover rendering for multipolygons with missing inners, changed zoom level for river captions, changed footway/path areas (rendering depends now on surface), restricted generator:source to power=generator
– fixed missing casings for some tracks at ZL13, improved spanish translationsDeveloper of Elevate mapstyle

September 30, 2019 at 14:38 #31375TobiasKeymasterElevate LE for V3 maps in Locus is now deprecated but can be still downloaded for legacy reasons. A special Locus version is not necessary anymore, so the normal version can be used. But only the quick install users get the Locus-only icons 🙂

December 6, 2019 at 13:42 #32456TobiasKeymasterFor Elevate 4.4.0 there is now a Release Candidate. As the changes are pretty profound (changed to rendertheme V5 and optimization of pathtexts for mapsforge 0.12) this version is meant for testing only. OruxMaps uses mapsforge 0.12 only in the current beta version (Locus already uses mapsforge 0.12).
Here’s the direct download:
Elevate 4.4.0rcQuick installation:
Locus
OruxMapsAll changes:
4.4.0rc 06/12/19
– changed to rendertheme V5 and removed deprecated tags, so now at least mapsforge 0.6.1 is necessary
– optimized all pathtexts for mapsforge 0.12 rendering (esp. route refs and street names, increased tiny font sizes), optimized oneway symbols
– added man_made=petroleum_well, attraction=summer_toboggan, priority to playground
– changed rendering for buildings=ruins/buildings with historic=ruins, removed symbol for ruins when they are just buildings=ruins
– removed some unnecessary slashes in waymarks ressource links, small fix for hike_node/housenumbers, code cleaned of Locus Engine optimizationsDeveloper of Elevate mapstyle

April 15, 2020 at 13:39 #34884TobiasKeymasterI released a new Elevate version. This is now optimized for mapsforge 0.12 and higher (at least 0.6.1), as the OruxMaps version which uses 0.12 is still in beta phase (now beta35!), the optimizations for the curved texts are currently only usable in the beta version.
All changes:
4.4.0 15/04/20
– changed to rendertheme V5 and removed deprecated tags, so now at least mapsforge 0.6.1 is necessary
– optimized all pathtexts for mapsforge 0.12 rendering (esp. route refs and street names, increased tiny font sizes), optimized oneway symbols
– added man_made=petroleum_well, attraction=summer_toboggan, priority to playground, rendering for strict nature reserves (protect_class=1), rendering of protect_class=2/3/4 for maps starting 03/2020
– changed rendering for buildings=ruins/buildings with historic=ruins, removed symbol for ruins when they are just buildings=ruins
