Hi Francesco 3+4) I'd like it if the tags of ways and areas could be shown on osmand, as they are for nodes. I expect it's about keeping the interface usable for the average user.
7) the artefacts were discussed here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/osmand/LOCK6TGNTbM and https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/2183 I used to notice them really badly on my old phone, but not on my new phone, don't know why that made a difference. 11) Wouldn't exact steepness at a point depend on direction? I don't know how altitude data works in osmand. Can't you just look at the contours? It would be worth knowing that "exact" steepness at a point wouldn't really be feasible because the altitude data has quite limited resolution, so it depends what you're really looking for.# Regards Tom On Fri, 19 Jun 2020 at 10:22, Francesco Puccettone < [email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Miro for these answers, on which I comment below.
