Maybe not really a bug, but certainly annoying and probably easy to resolve: when using the OSM Classic view, some roads (such as L260 in the attachment) almost seem to disappear, because their greenish colour is almost the same as the colour of the surrounding grassland. On OSM, the colour of such roads is actually orange, which makes them stand out much better. Would it be possible to change the default colour of these roads?

April 5, 2022 at 8:08 am #26106I have to agree with you on this issue. Not wanting to hijack your post but on a similar vein tracks and routes often obscure important details details on roads. So, for instance, the junction numbers on motorways are buried regardless of any colour selected for the route
The whole issue of screen “readability” deserves discussion,.Town and village names arguably need highlighting among other things – but how much of this is under the control of PE?

January 22, 2023 at 8:34 am #47230I have had this too and reported it as a bug. I think it had something to do with the map source and was out of the control of PE, but my memory may well be incorrect….

Dear wilfr:
The map stylings are what they are. When choosing OSM Classic, the whole point is to see what OSM itself decided to do–long ago, hence “Classic,” and provide to users and developers–with colors, line widths, icons, etc. All that stuff is baked into the “Base Layer” map, and the PE developers don’t muck about with it. Why the devs decided to provide OSM Classic view as a map style choice, I’ve no idea! Nor how long ago they decided that, or why other OSM styles haven’t been provided. It’s quite possible the current PE OSM Classic View has been deprecated on OSM itself, hence the color changes. Does OSM still provide a “Classic View” styling choice?Dear Kritou,
The problem of ” tracks and routes often obscure important details details on roads” was discussed ages ago (although I can’t possibly find any threads!). If I recall correctly, the basic issue was somewhat similar to wilfr’s question. That is, the map info from OSM is imported to PE as a kind of “base layer.” Over which PE puts our tracks/routes, Pins, etc. Some of the base layer information can be STYLED: POI icons, for instance. But the OSM map information either couldn’t be, or maybe was couldn’t be without massive, unaffordable programming, pulled up to PE layers to be put over other PE stuff. A fall-back suggestion was to provide transparency to the PE overlays for tracks&routs, but that never went anywhere.January 24, 2023 at 9:52 pm #47236Hi BuckyE – good to hear of/from you again
Thanks for your explanation/s re visibility but if the PE developers do pick up the reins again the possibility of a “on the fly” transparency option would be a good starting point IMHO.
Out of interest I will have a scout round the OSM forums to see what if anything has been said about emphasising the text of village, town and city names
I have recently been playing and investing in the MyRoute app. It is a powerful tool for those who require different mapping platforms besides OSM but the range of subscriptions, options and menus make PE a beacon of utility and user friendliness!
All the best
January 25, 2023 at 1:31 am #47239Dear Kritou,
Yes, PE is my perfect solution to offline mapping (my initial interest), customization, information availability and ease of use. With the thousands of hours I’ve spent adding info to PE, that is numerically linked to travel research I’ve created as PDFs I store on my iPad for offline reference, I’m going to continue to use PE as long as it offers updating of maps.
The PE interface is fine by me. I know it could use tweaking, but so could any other app use tweaking to satisfy individuals.
I’ll try to stick around as long as I can!
