Cycleway overlay

[gerion0]

Many thanks for the app and bringing it to F-Droid. It is simple to use, just works and especially renders on older phones!

I often make bike trips. For that, in Germany (and several other, mostly European, states) official bike routes exists that often have a nice landscape, good quality etc. These routes are mapped in OSM. A very good online map to display them is https://cycling.waymarkedtrails.org/. This website also has a few other profiles: Hiking, Mountainbiking, etc.. The routes there are highlighted and clickable to get some extra information.

Since all data is coming from OSM, it should be possible to integrate such a functionality directly in Organic Maps, too (as offline overlay for example). For biking, this would be very helpful. Maybe you like the idea.

Another great rendering is https://www.cyclosm.org, also based on OSM. Besides cycling routes it also renders cycling tracks, speed limited streets and POIs which are especially interesting for cyclists.

It would be great to implement some ideas from these resources directly in the OM.

It would be nice to be able to add any overlay, such as https://vv.fork.pl/index.php

We don't want to create another OSMand.

Its discussed in more detail here: #1577

Official/national/regional routes highlighting will be very useful for hikers too - for that we need to add support for route relations. I think relations are taken into account for the roads already (e.g. national roads names and codes like E90 are shown in OM).
