I have published a number of tracks and they are visible on the Standard and CylOSM layers, but not on any other layers.
But many other tracks and paths are visible on all layers. What does one have to do to make them visible? The Cycle Map is the "nicest" from a hiking point of view as the contours are clearer. The Standard map is not useful at all as it has no contours. _______________________________________ Tony Heher +27 82 654 5582 On Sat, May 29, 2021 at 12:50 PM Tony Heher <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks, now obvious!
