I also improved the pdf map key.Developer of Elevate mapstyle

Elevate has been updated. The main changes concern protected areas, now additional access restrictions are shown. Also cliff and contour line rendering has been updated for the tighter 10m lines.
All changes:

– added additional rendering for protected areas with limited access (onroad only, discouraged, conditional no etc.), natural=tree_row
– changed rendering rules for protected areas, limited minor contour lines to ZL15 instead of ZL13 (as the new 10m lines are too dense in steep areas), changed rendering for cliffs, removed access=private/restricted pattern from boundary areasDeveloper of Elevate mapstyle
Elevate has been updated. There was a tiny error (two spaces were missing) that let to bad rendering in just a few apps, and MTB:scale and MTB:scale:uphill are now shown on steps.
4.4.5 06/03/21
– added mtb:scale and mtb:scale:uphill to highway=steps in MTB-mapstyle

With the new Elevate 4.5, there are lots of changes to the displayed POI symbols and captions. There are now more colors which depend on categories that are identical to the POI options. The categories have been resorted and all symbols have a more unified look. Also the mapstyle options now have category letters (R=Route, W=Ways, P=POIs, A=Areas). That all those changed symbols can be displayed at all I’ve renamed the symbol folder from ele_res to ele-res – the old one can be safely deleted.
Also lots of new POIs have been added some other changes:4.5.0 21/04/21

No changes in Elevate, but new zip-file for latest Locus versions and two different Elevate quick installs for Locus (zipped and unzipped).
As with latest Google restrictions themes in zip-files are far more efficient on external SD, but now the icons and legend have to be in the same file as the theme.Developer of Elevate mapstyle
