Boundary = administrative being rendered is confusing while walking

[sympa]

While walking in France I noticed that some paths appeared double and thought: I'll correct this when I return.

When looking in the OSM editor I noticed that one path is a track, while the orther is an administrative boundary of level 8.

On the web it also looks confusing:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.335734&lon=6.342121&zoom=18&layers=M

But I think that for interactive use this information is rarely needed, and thus better omitted.

The same applies in my opinion to power lines, by the way. The problem is that these cross the important information (roads and paths) and there are only so many clearly distinguishable rendering styles to choose from. Buildings do not have this problem usually.

In Osmand app there is a setting to NOT display boundary lines ...try to find it ... it is at display settings or similar.

I remember the setting, and I though I disabled the boundary rendering. But since some time it shows up again and I cannot find where the setting has gone! I'll check again if I can find it.

But I also wish to have good defaults.

I found the setting to not render the administrative boundaries. Fist go to the plugin manager, then select 'Advanced settings'. After that the option (re)appears.

Problem solved!
