Construction railways nearly invisible #14391

Closed Famlam closed 2 years ago

Famlam commented 2 years ago

Description

Compare this area, containing abandoned railways, at zoom levels 14-18, in the app. In reality, there's almost nothing left, just former electricity poles of the old railway. (Per the definition of railway=abandoned: no more rail) with this area containing a clearly visible railway under construction (railway=construction), at zoom levels 14-18.

The abandoned railway is rendered up to zoom level 14, even though in the field it's almost not visible The railway under construction is not rendered until zoom level 19, even though in reality it's very well visible

A patch to make them more equal is ready at https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/pull/826

This is more complicated. Abondoned tracks concept doesn't work very well at the railway station, but it is helpful in rural areas, where it is usually marked by embankment/cutting/bridge - visible features that can be used in navigation.

I've replied to this comment in the PR ;)

@maraf24 I've created a second PR (and will leave the other one open, so OsmAnd contributors can still choose). Perhaps this approach would suit you better? (See the PR comment for details, but long story short: everything would be rendered up to 400m distance - if your screen is centered on your position)
