OsmAnd-resources VS pietervdvn

All of these map styles contain one type of data from OpenStreetMap. Rendering.xml contains rules on how to display (draw) the map on a device screen.

The custom vector map output is dependent on the rendering types (view) and POI types (search) configured. If your .osm file's entries aren't using listed tags, they'll be skipped; you would modify your OSM file to use the predefined tags, and/or modify the predefined files (and a rendering style) for display.

For existing tracks, OsmAnd-resources has a standalone template. If you name it how you like and change its depends to your usual style, and use it instead of your usual style, then gpx files without explicit widths will get its strokeWidth value.

You can write your own style https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/tree/master/rendering_styles

For OBF creation, while the poi_types file used for searching includes them, the rendering_types.xml file doesn't include disc_golf tags.

In the default rendering style, near the bottom, one can see the values of admin_level and their minzoomvalues. One can potentially alter this, or make a copy (that wouldn't be overwritten when updating), or do otherwise, as this file is also present locally in files/rendering.

Within poi_types.xml the first poi_category has a name of shop. Within this category, some of the shop types (e.g. bakery) have poi_additional_category values (e.g. delivery) that can be used for filtering (the sliders icon in the upper right when one has performed a search). But toilets isn't typically a filter for most POIs.

These icons are (or at least were) "stubs"; see the files whose names start with "stub_" within https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources for several of them. (As these are source files, they are unlikely to match your actual map's rendering, but the actual rendered files are within huge directories that aren't as conveniently browsed within GitHub's web interface.)

I used unirs as template from https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/tree/master/rendering_styles and adjusted the hex colors. You need to import the xml file then into osmand

In case you are a avid hiker, you probably know Komoot\2],) you can easily find and share hiking trails with everyone and attach images to it. It's really great for tracking your hikes and viewing it afterwards. And if you are in need of a general purpose app that does everything and everything well, then OsmAnd is your little helper in your pocket to navigate around. You can choose the offline map style, use various online maps, add your own maps, hike, bike, horse routes and much more. Configure the map as you wish, hide POIs, hide buildings if you don't want them, explore the map with Wikipedia articles, there are basically no limits for customization. If you are sick of green forests, create your own custom map style and make them pink. You can find default map styles on github.

There's a bunch of different stuff there. Direct link to the pdf presentation : https://github.com/pietervdvn/pietervdvn.github.io/raw/master/Slideshows/OSMAND%20Route%20Engine%20Hacking.pdf This is one I made, which has a switch to have the walking profile make detours in order to maximalize the amount of paths in the trip. Also, it has a profile to have recreational routes with a car. Link: https://github.com/pietervdvn/pietervdvn.github.io/blob/master/routing_radical_hiking.xml This one is from Pieter, and will help you route to avoid cobbles / sett: https://github.com/pietervdvn/pietervdvn.github.io/blob/master/routing_settless.xml

In the newest version on Android, you can tap on a route, and then "download" it as a gpx. Then you can navigate along that gpx file. OsmAnd does add a property "this road belongs to a cycle relation" in the routing engine. When cycle routing is set to prefer small roads, and you pick a few via points along the route, then it does seem to usually stick to cycling routes. This also means it's relatively straightforward to edit the routing.xml to create a switch for "navigate along bicycle routes as much as possible". There's an introduction to that here https://github.com/pietervdvn/pietervdvn.github.io/tree/master/Slideshows

Hey, I really commend you for trying all this stuff out! I saw you getting some progress on the OpenStreetMap reddit as well. It shouldn't be needed to have a routed phone. Assuming Android (I have no idea about the iOS version, sorry), you can download the file at https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/blob/master/routing/routing.xml, change the name, make some edits, and then import it into OsmAnd (IIRC by "importing" in the routing profile manager). There's two presentations about how to use this xml here https://github.com/pietervdvn/pietervdvn.github.io/tree/master/Slideshows. Mind you they are a little dated, at that time it wasn't possible to have an extra xml file, you needed to edit the file in your android directly.

Yeah, I did some of that as well with OsmAnd xml's. Some fun profiles here :https://github.com/pietervdvn/pietervdvn.github.io/blob/master/routing_radical_hiking.xml Doing "weird" routes like this does make it more likely to stumble upon errors in the osm data. I hope you discovered you can report them, even within the OsmAnd app.

Assuming Android, go to Settings, and tap on the little button next to the current viewing profile. Scroll down to the managament of these, then create a new pedestrian profile, e.g. "Hiking". Now download https://github.com/pietervdvn/pietervdvn.github.io/raw/master/routing_radical_hiking.xml to your phone. Go the settings of your new profile, choose Navigation settings, then navigation type. Scroll all the way down and tap "Import routing file". Choose the XML file you just downloaded. Choose the "pedestrian" routing from that file (there should be a few new options now, labeled 'rouditng_radical_hiking.xlk" and then a name.). Almost there! Now, when you go to Route parameters, you should have a new option, called "Strongly prefer paths". Use that to get crazy routing along paths!
