Transport stops should only be for selected mode of transport

[Friptick]

Description

In Configure map > Transport, the option Transport stops is all but useless if you are not traveling by bus. That is because in any city almost all "transport stops" are bus stops.

Steps to reproduce

1. In Configure map > Transport, enable Transport stops but disable Bus routes

2. Look at map. Wince.

Actual result

Whole map will be plastered with bus stops, which I explicitly do not want to see because I disabled bus routes.

Expected result

See only metro and train stops.

Your Environment (required)

OsmAnd Version: 4.3.4

The bug was not reproduced. You mentioned that you enabled Transport stops but disabled Bus routes, yet bus stops are still visible. Please note that the Transport stops option controls the display of all stops on the map, including bus stops. If you disable Transport stops and enable subway and train routes instead, only those will be shown.

We also recommend updating your app to the latest version, as there may be outdated issues that have already been resolved.

Yes. I understand all that.

Please note that the Transport stops option controls the display of all stops on the map, including bus stops.

That is the bug. Sure, you'll probably say it's a feature, but it's not. It's obviously unexpected behavior.

To recap the situation:

• The user selects "Transport stops"
• The user unselects "Bus routes"
• The user sees almost nothing but bus stops (and, de facto, they generally cover up all the other kinds of stop, making this feature useless for anything but buses)

I understand that resolving this may be hard (because of the available OSM data) but this is evidently a UX bug.

[vshcherb]

You are right transport stops are not related to a specific transport and UI doesn't suggest it should be.

[Friptick]

Yes yes. I understand that it's a "feature" but you're avoiding the issue. Again:

1. Imagine you want to see where all the metro stops are in your city. Very common scenario! So you enable Transport stops and disable everything but Metro lines
2. Look at the screenshots above

Are you really saying that an ordinary user is going to expect this behavior?

Is there anything that they can do to solve the problem? Is there anything that the app can do about it, given the OSM dataset?
