Use less colors on paths

Open Apflkuacha opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

In some areas freemap is drawing way too much colors. I do know that they represent different paths like hiking/horse riding/biking/skating/skitouring and probably many more. But to have over 10 different colors in total and sometimes 7 colors next to each other is too much and doesn't help anyone. Example: image

Suggestions: put the different colored routes as separate layers, so the user could choose which ones he is interested in and should be shown. Example of a map with loads of different layers (more of them could be found with the search box): map.geo.admin.ch I'm currently working on a layer which shows the hiking and biking difficulty. Another advantage: Layers could be laid over any kind of map. I do use the app "AlpineQuest" which allows adding various layers. But also with other apps it could be accomplished. See here: image
