New OSMand style "Selection" Version 3.38

[Egal]

Here I offer you a brandnew OSMand style: "Selection" (Version 3.38).
It is very small (97 kByte instead of 628 kByte OSMand default style) but nearly complete (no ashtrays, benches, poodles or other small things of no importance).
It is fast.
It is free.
It is stand alone, what means, it is not derived from other styles and don't need other styles.

It is very flexible. That means: You can create with some simple clicks your own theme map (Selection). You can hide or show every object type from the map. You can combine the object types you want to see and hide all other unwanted object types. So you get a very clear map. That is also helpfull for OSM-mapper in many cases. 

You will never need another style.

Examples for theme maps:

- Public transport only or combined with town names and waters. (The lightrail and the subway lines of cities with their typical line colours).
- Orohydrographic maps
- Main streets with town names (e.g. for car navigation)
- Power net and power objects.
- Nature protection areas combined with woods and other landuses.
- Historic objects and areas
- Map of proposed objects combined with roads and pathes.
- Mapping hints and errors combined with roads and pathes.
- Administration borders with town names and the names of the administration areas.
... and so on. No limits.

See also the example screenshots in the .zip file.

How to use:
- Download the appended SelectionV3.37.zip.
- Unpack the .zip file.
- Rename the .xml file to Selection.render.xml (if necssary).
- Copy Selection.render.xml into the directory ../rendering of your OSMand directory
- Start OSMand
- Main menu => Configure map => Map rendering => Map style => Selection

- Under: Main menu =>  Configure map => Map rendering => Hide ... you can select the objects which you don't want to see.
- Under: Main menu =>  Configure map => Map rendering => Details ... you can select extra objects which you want to see.
- Under: Main menu =>  Configure map => Layer Selection ... you can select the layer of which you want to see the objects (e.g. underground only).
- Under: Main menu =>  Configure map => Map Background Color Selection ... you can select the background color. Black or red background can be helpfull for error search.
- You can use most of the other Configure map options.
  but:
- You should not use: Main menu =>  Configure map => Topography => Nautical depth ... because this option is buggy.
      You should use instead: Main menu =>  Configure map => Map rendering => Details => Depth contour lines ... because it works better.
 
Before you change back to another style, first reset your changes in the "Hide", "Details", "Select Layer" and "Select Map Background Color"
menus to unselected - otherwise in other styles some objects will not be shown.

This is interesting, I have one question, will this survive OsmAnd version updates?

At any moment, you have a choice, that leads you closer to God or further from God.

Yes, the style Selection will survive OSMand version updates. Updates of OSMand don't changes or delete files which didn't come with the installation package of OSMand. But when you uninstall OSMand completely and install it again, you have also to install the Selection style manually again, because it don't comes with the OSMand package. And you have to update this style manually. I will publish the updates here.
