In the period of 2011-2016 I myself added and expanded (technical) documentation. Some of it is still valid, some of it is (completely) outdated but also sometimes never touched again. At that time OsmAnd was really a volunteer project. Now it is a company producing an open source navigation app, but still a company. And a company should document their product.
However, from the other point of view: The site contains quite some informational "howto" documentation on the end-user side for "standard" usage. Creating additional render xmls is not a standard user activity. And especially rendering is a huge task to document if you want to touch all ins and outs. I did create several renderings (and profiles) in the past, and did quite recently a rendering.xml especially for "Stolper Steine". But again: I don't like to document rendering either as that would be a (big) project in itself.. With regard to changing colors (reverse engineering): did you see https://osmand.net/help-online/map-legend ? That might help Also: Did you set some of the map details like "extra details", or the two for the roads? Maybe it might indeed be good to register this lack of rendering documentation as an issue. Also: You could try to contact Eugene Zmeuk and Sonora (nickname) who are the main contributors to the website. Eugene more on the general stuff and Sonora (Hardy) more on the technical aspects. (Sonora (Hardy) created the Touring view rendering style.) Harry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OsmAnd" group.
