highway=track, grade5 not visible at zoom 14

Hi,
thank you for your question. The highway=path becomes visible from zoom level 14 because the mountain areas where it’s important to have context for planning trips and navigation.

Tracks with tracktype=grade5 are often very minor forest tracks, sometimes difficult to pass through (at least here in Central Europe). Because of this, there is a very fine balance between good map readability and overloading the map with too many elements. For this reason we use such approach. I hope the current setup does not cause major difficulties for you.

Thank you
Petr

That's set in the theme. You can create your own theme. I use OAM maps and have the Elevate theme. I made a few changes to that theme and saved it as my own. Now I can switch between the original and my custom theme.

I'm not sure if that works with the Locus theme. I only use LoMap in the background for offline data. Why don't you take a look here?

Hello Peter,

Thanks for answer.

I think that all levels of highway=track (even grade 5) can be use for hiking. Grade level make really difference for bicycle/motorbike/cars usability and speed.

I think it's embarrassing when looking map of big area.

But this is only an opinion

Hi

I reported this previously as part of https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/38097-webplanner-pathsfeatureszoom-levels

There I thought for highway=track it was the tag surface=unpaved causing them to not be displayed until zoom 15, but now I see it is tracktype=grade5, and perhaps other grades too (I haven't checked)

So I do agree with the OP that, at least for hiking, any track should be shown at the same zoom as highway=path (14) as if a vehicle can use it then you can also walk on it (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtrack)
