New standalone OSMand style "Selection"

[Egal]

Here I offer you a brandnew OSMand style: "Selection" (Version 3.37).
It is very small (95 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. 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.

..... Google rejected the upload of the zip file, because it is to large (21 MB, includes 20 screenshots). Is there any other way for easy distribution ?

I now appended here the single file of the style "Selection" (Version 3.37). No screenshots now.

The distribution via mega.nz is not easy enough, because I have to get a new membership there. I don't like to be a member in so many websites.

Thank you very much for your style. So far I have always adapted the default style to my needs, will check yours soon.

You have not to change the file, it is nearly perfect. Just open the menues "Hide", "Details", "Layer Selection" or "Map Background Color Selection" and select the objects you want to see or you don't want to see. That's all. Make a test by switching  off or on of the objects in the menu lists to find your favorite theme map. As I wrote: There is no limit.

Configured your file and liked it very much. Thanks a lot for sharing your work! :-)
