The maps theme Elevate 2.0 has been released today with some important changes. Support for high density displays and rendering of cycling routes are included now. The basis for the new sizes are completely reworked and unified symbols which are now used in the standard version, too.
There are three sizes: Elevate for ~160-240dpi, Elevate L for ~320 dpi and Elevate XL for ~450dpi.
Those are available in three variations: Elegant as a light version for cities, Elevate with hiking routes and thick footways and paths on which difficulty and visibility are shown, and Elevelo with cycling routes and ways.
Thanks a lot for all feedback on the test versions, and especially to Dsvilko for his size changing script which made this a lot easier!
All changes here. The map key has been revised as well, you can find it and the downloads as usual under Legend/Elevate.
Best regards,
Tobias
Hi,
There are is a growing community developing themes for OpenAndroMaps.
Up to now they had to reverse engeneer the settings of the OpenAndroMaps – a very time-consuming and unpleasant task.
So I decided to publish the basic settings (Tag-Transform, TagMapping) of the OpenAndroMaps to make live easier for everyone.
Why in english only?
If you intend to go deeper into theme-composing and rendering you will find that nearly all manuals are written in english.
So there’s no sence to provide German language here while you have to go to english with external sources.
So, if you are interested to spend some time for modifying or composing themes you find basic informations here in the main menu under “MAPBasics”
Best regards, Christian
… so there are fresh maps available for Asia, Ozeania, South-Amerika (and the rest of the world 😉 )
I added some new tags especially for Mounain-Hikers, for this application I recommend the Elevate Theme
Beste regards

I’m pleased to present a new rendertheme of our new Co-Author Tobis Kühn.
Tobias agreed to present this theme on Openandromaps on his own page:
https://www.openandromaps.org/en/legend/elevate-mountain-hike-theme
The theme is clearly focused on serious Alpine/Mountain hiking.
All weak points/issues of the more general andromaps_hc theme are adressed:
– Ski slopes are rendered more decent
– Better visibility of ways and paths, yet with visible route information
– Better perfomance doe to optimized, clear coding
– Ridges, cliffs, scree, scrub, etc. are rendered much better.
– etc…
For me the decission is clear: This is the theme I will use hiking in the mountains.
The Theme is compatible both for Oruxmaps and Locus.
I strongly revommend to install it on Orux in the folder ../oruxmaps/mapstyles/ELV/
Thanks to Tobias
and
Best regards, Christian
