Increase contrast between grassland and forests for hiking #20054

Open FedericoCeratto opened 3 weeks ago

FedericoCeratto commented 3 weeks ago

Describe the idea (required)

When hiking it can be very useful to distinguish between grassland and woods for route planning or setting up a camp. Unlike https://www.openstreetmap.org , the natural=wood areas have the same color as natural=grassland and the trees are just slightly darker, making it very difficult to see in broad daylight.

Tell us about the expected behaviour (required)

Make natural=wood areas dark green.

Tell us about alternatives you've considered (required)

(not applicable)

Context (optional)

I also find paths in forests quite difficult to see on a sunny day as in https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/18055 - changing the forest color might impact this.

@FedericoCeratto Related reading: #15779. Quite possibly the solution for you is to use a map style more geared towards outdoore readbility and hiking... also in terms of seeing paths not just areas.
