Special rendering for sac_scale=hiking

[Daniel Kraft]

Hi!

First of all, thank you very much for the great OsmAnd -- I'm using it
almost daily. Especially for travelling, it is an invaluable tool for
me since 2012!

As a user and mapper, I'm quite interested in hiking trails. It is
great that OsmAnd has an option to highlight the SAC scale of paths.
However, even with this option enabled, sac_scale=hiking paths are shown
the same as paths without a SAC scale. I think this has two disadvantages:

1) Proper knowledge about the SAC scale can be very important, even
literally life saving. Unfortunately I often come across paths without
a sac_scale tag that are T2/3 or even T4+. I think it should be
immediately visible (at least if the SAC scale rendering is turned on)
if a path is indeed T1 or just missing a SAC scale and can thus be
everything. (Of course, noone should blindly rely on OSM data for
planning a mountain trip. But it can definitely be an important factor
as well.)

2) The rendering between purple/blue paths with SAC scale of T2 or
higher is very different from the rendering of an ordinary path or a T1
path -- at least for me, this even means that on the first look, I see
mostly the T2+ paths and overlook the T1 ones.

What do you think about adding special rendering also for T1 paths
(sac_scale=hiking) if the SAC scale option is turned on? It could be
dark yellow / brown, for instance.

Yours,
Daniel

As an alternative, or temporary workaround until implemented,

you may want to try LocusMap with free OSM based (Google it)
OpenAndroMaps(OAM) with OAM map theme Elevate/Elements.

AFAIK, T1 us blue, T2/T3 red and T4-T6 black, with farther distinctions by
the line patterns.

Additionally, you may try my mountain hiking related BRouter profiles with
Tn hard limits.
