Hi,

I have one area in France that shows in orange when I zoom in. I can't figure out why that is and how I can get rid of it. I won't show up orange when I zoom out, but then I can't see the details. It won't show up either if I set the option to hide areas, but then again I'm missing a lot of details that I'd like to see.

Any suggestions how I can get rid of the orange?  Screenshot_2022-10-15-21-21-35-72_014aeb6b5e04ee7837dcdaecc5244511.jpg

That's with the Frane_bourgogne-franche-comte_europe map (1.10.2022)

Thanks,
Eberhard

It looks like it is only in zoomlevel 13 to 22. The area is only part of depatement Doubs. In the southwest Pontarlier, which also belongs to Doubs, is NOT affected. For me it looks like that a part of Doubs has a special style.

I'm no expert, but have 2 thoughts:-
Does it render in the same way in other modes?  i.e. Walking, bike, car?
Delete the map and re-load it?

> Delete the map and re-load it?

I tried that and it didn't help. Also tried on a different phone and got the same results there.

> Does it render in the same way in other modes?  i.e. Walking, bike, car?

It renders the same in all other modes except car.

Makes me wonder what's the difference? I just noticed that in the Browse map profile I can get rid of the orange coloring by unchecking "more details". However, this doesn't work in the Walking profile. Ahh, that uses the Touring View. It seems "more details" has different meaning with different map styles...

Thanks!

Hi! You need to disable "More details" option in Menu – Configure Map – Details – More details

Hi, I just checked the same in my smartphone: in effect, disablig the "More details" option does remove the orange overlay from the map.

However, this is not "the" solution: as said by @pebogufi, it might be a map issue.
The best action would be to investigate the area with a map editor and/or ask a member of the local (French) OSM Community to check and fix it, if possible.

KInd regards,
Max

I *think* this is caused by https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/14262576/history which is apparently a micronation https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saugeais tagged as a tourism=attraction. I'm not sure what an appropriate top-level tag would be, but probably some kind of boundary.

I just removed tourism=attraction, I think it is obsolete for a multiploygon.
So wait for an update of map.

@pegobufi:  I think you did the right thing.
tourism=attraction is deprecated anyway. Better would be to use tourism_attraction=yes.
a tourism attraction is the Eiffel tower, or a castle or famous museum or a specific statue or perhaps even a great looking waterfall or "the oldest tree in the country", but to mark an entire region is not correct from my point of view.
This tag is under discussion anyway. Why is one "thing" more an attraction than another.


If you use overpass-turbo.eu with the query
(
  node[tourism=attraction]({{bbox}});
  way[tourism=attraction]({{bbox}});
  relation[tourism=attraction]({{bbox}});
);
out;


Of course you can use it only with node, way or relation. But I only find nodes in general (like the Eiffel tower, Brandenburger tor, etcetera)
like
node[tourism=attraction]({{bbox}});
out;


And when you use that in an area with a lot of those tourist attractions (big older cities are mostly crowded with these things), you find multiple orange (actually light brown) areas.
If I use the overpass query in Den Haag (The Hague), then Madurodam is crowded with those tourism=attraction tags, giving quite some orange areas.

So yes: the orange area is a "tourism=attaction" rendering.

And if you look inside the default render xml, you see that as well: https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/blob/master/rendering_styles/default.render.xml#L2927-L2940 (slow link, be patient)
It's more a semi-transparent light-brown by the way.

Unfortunately it is not described in the Map Legend: https://osmand.net/docs/user/map-legend/osmand

If you can download live update, the area is no more yellow, else you have to wait for update next month.
