Hello, I’d like to notice that paths/footpaths display terribly thick. Their thickness is almost like residential streets.

Can you give me a Screenshot of the area in question, incl the Permalink from OSM – thanks
Basicly the paths in Elevate/Hiking are drawn nearly as wide as Tracks cause these paths are most important for hikers and on a smartphone in sunshine the paths have to be visible without glases and hiding in shade.

In hiking map style paths are exactly half as thick as residential streets 🙂
As Christian wrote, paths are the most important ways for hikers. That’s why they are emphasized in the hiking map style, and that way it’s easier to the their location, color and dashes.
If you want something slimmer and less obtrusive, try the city map style.Developer of Elevate mapstyle

September 29, 2020 at 21:43 #39948TobiasKeymasterLooks as expected. But as written above, try the city style. Hiking isn’t made for this, so horses for courses.

The background colors in Elevate are muted on purpose, saturated colors are restricted to routes, paths/cycleway/some roads/POIs/captions, so that these are easier to distinguish in bright outdoor conditions. If you want more vivid colors, you could try a different theme, or some apps have a function to change colors, like map color mode in Locus with high contrast setting.
