Was have happened at OAM till Nov 2017?

Yes, I know..

Kommunikation from my side to the OpenAndroMaps community could – and should – be better (by far) 😉

A lot of improvements happened during 2017 – OAM is’nt on idle at all, we are working hard to improve, add new Features, include external Data, aso..

Maps:

Abbreviations for Street / Place names in many languages for more reliable rendering (eg Street / Strasse > St.)
Better rendering of cycletracks and lanes along roads
Put_in / regress / portage_ways for paddlers included in map_data
@Sonny constantly integrates new LIDAR (LaserScan) elevation data, wherever available for free, into the existing viewfinder/nasa dataset – resulting in the most reliable contourlines available on free maps.
@Tobias constantly improves the Elevate / Elements rendertheme.
Constant evolution of the multilanguage maps > now (eg) PidginChines works reliable
Better redering of access rights and road surfaces
Difficult scale (sac_scale) for mountain paths without restrictions
Names for Islands / Archipelagos now render much better and at lower zoom levels – appearence is driven by calculated size of area covered
@Michael works for a better set of GeneralMaps
…

Website:

Server moved to new, more reliable provider with up to date infrastructure
Protokoll moved to HTTPS
New version of WordPress theme with much better apperance and faster rendering on mobile devices
aso..

However the best of all is about to come.
December update will bring a real great improvement for hikers and alpinists.

Best regards
Team of OAM
