Toggle / better distinguish between bike parking and car parking #6136

Open mikehgentry opened 5 years ago

In a busy city centre you can be inundated with markers on the POI 'Parking' overlay. A significant number of them are usually going to be unusable - just visual clutter to sift through - whether you're on a bike or in a car.

Colouring the two types differently would definitely help (especially as they shrink to an iconless dot if you zoom out a bit).

Or maybe you could highlight (or even only display) the bike parking ones in bike navigating mode, and vice versa?

Thanks for Osmand!

The generic parking category is for all parking spaces (cars, bicycles, ...). However you can use "search" to search for specific parking categories, e.g. "bicycle parking" or the second "parking" category (#6137) for car parking only.

OK, thanks. I've figured out how to save a custom search so bike parking shows up as a category as well.

This works, but it isn't terribly discoverable, and the overlay itself is still very hard to use in larger cities.

Here's a suggestion: in navigation mode, only display the type of parking that is available for the vehicle type you're using to navigate.
