Here I offer you a brandnew OSMand style: "Selection" (Version 3.37).
It is very small (95 kByte instead of 628 kByte OSMand default style) but
nearly complete (no ashtrays, benches, poodles or other small things of no
importance).
It is fast.
It is free.
It is stand alone, what means, it is not derived from other styles and
don't need other styles.
It is very flexible. That means: You can create with some simple clicks
your own theme map (Selection). You can hide or show every object type from
the map. You can combine the object types you want to see and hide all
other unwanted object types. So you get a very clear map. That is also
helpfull for OSM-mapper in many cases. Examples for theme maps:
- Public transport only or combined with town names and waters. (The
lightrail and the subway lines of cities with their typical line colours).
- Orohydrographic maps
- Main streets with town names (e.g. for car navigation)
- Power net and power objects.
- Nature protection areas combined with woods and other landuses.
- Historic objects and areas
- Map of proposed objects combined with roads and pathes.
- Mapping hints and errors combined with roads and pathes.
- Administration borders with town names and the names of the
administration areas.
... and so on. No limits.
See also the example screenshots in the .zip file.
How to use:
- Download the appended SelectionV3.37.zip.
- Unpack the .zip file.
- Rename the .xml file to Selection.render.xml (if necssary).
- Copy Selection.render.xml into the directory ../rendering of your OSMand
directory
- Start OSMand
- Main menu => Configure map => Map rendering => Map style => Selection
- Under: Main menu => Configure map => Map rendering => Hide ... you can
select the objects which you don't want to see.
- Under: Main menu => Configure map => Map rendering => Details ... you
can select extra objects which you want to see.
- Under: Main menu => Configure map => Layer Selection ... you can select
the layer of which you want to see the objects (e.g. underground only).
- Under: Main menu => Configure map => Map Background Color Selection ...
you can select the background color. Black or red background can be
helpfull for error search.
- You can use most of the other Configure map options.
but:
- You should not use: Main menu => Configure map => Topography => Nautical
depth ... because this option is buggy.
You should use instead: Main menu => Configure map => Map rendering
=> Details => Depth contour lines ... because it works better.
Before you change back to another style, first reset your changes in the
"Hide", "Details", "Select Layer" and "Select Map Background Color"
menus to unselected - otherwise in other styles some objects will not be
shown.

..... Google rejected the upload of the zip file, because it is to large
(21 MB, includes 20 screenshots). Is there any other way for easy
distribution ?
