Cycle routes should stick out extremely

Alex Müller shared this question 8 years ago
Answered

Hello,

at the moment I use some LoMaps. There, I can set the topic of a map, like for bicycles etc.

However, I would like that the bike routes should stick out even more.

Is this somehow possible?


With best regards,

Alex

Why another Helpdesk topic ?

The route generation is not matter of Lomaps, Locus uses 3rd party routing services ( online like Mapquest, YOURS or OSRM, or offline like Brouter or Graphhopper ). How these prioritize the cycleroute is not under Locus influence ( unless there is a demand for a specialized BRouter profile ).

Extreme sticking to cycleroutes can also mean a 20 km detour to bypass 1 km of non-cycleroute. So the route prioritizing must be reasonable.


How long segment of a cycleroute are you willing to ride to avoid 1 km of non cycleroute ?

Hi Alex,


there is an option to switch some other content off (hiking trails, pubs) and leave just cycling paths - they are even more visible then.

@Alex: I am sorry, I may misinterpreted the topic.... :-)


It may be worthy for you to try various external themes available in http://forum.locusmap.eu

OpenCycle Map is also available in Locus. You can use it online or download it for offline use.

Downloading OpenCycle Map in Locus is very expernsive, although OpenCycle Map is open and free.

Online use and caching of OCM is free, downloading is not. But much better is to stay with vector maps and suitable themes than with raster OCM.

paid download of OCM is not our intention - it's according to their terms of use, sorry.

ohhh, I see!

I thought Locus is charging me for the download service.

Thank you for this information!

Hello Alex

Download from store is only one option.

Feel free to download OpenCycle Map or other maps for free from www.


Other solution:

- Different themes for vectormaps: http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?board=40.0

- Different vectormaps+themes: http://www.openandromaps.org
