Add background map option that places streetnames next to rather than on the road. #74

Open InsertUser opened 2 months ago

InsertUser commented 2 months ago

The current Relatify interface covers the roads in the background map with an overlay showing the route as selected and branching streets that can also be added to the route. This means that the names of the streets are covered up if they are displayed on the road. This can make it difficult to see if you are selecting the correct road in some instances.

Other than the option described in #45 this could be solved by rendering the road names on top of the overlay, which might hide important information or by choosing a background layer that draws the road names next to the roads rather than in them. The latter option is probably the least effort by far.

Potential background layers with pros (➕) and cons (➖):

We could also make the lines slightly transparent:

I tested this also on the orange lines, but the names were unreadable due to the animating line.

Good idea with the transparent gray lines. This will be very helpful in route edits!
