Thanks Ale! What would be really useful is to see all these categories as text, for a given road/path, as opposed to colour-coded. That is, for the legend to be 'translated'. However, enabling those two layers just shows me more colours, which for me is not helpful :)
Also, any idea as how to how I can achieve in OsmAnd the QueryFeatures function that you get in standard OSM, whereby you can see not just the road type at the current point, but also nearby POIs, rivers, enclosing regions (county level), etc?
