I do not envy the designers tasked with converting the OSM data bloat into simple, effective, easy-to-use outdoor maps. I think we could all argue that our particular situations demand a specific style, but no particular solution will work across the globe.
@pavel.samokha said in Offline Maps and Routing in Suunto App:
Online and offline data are different, it’s not good to mix neither the style nor navigation with different type of data.
I’m not sure I follow @pavel.samokha’s argument above. I understand that the downloaded maps may have slightly different info than the online ones, but why can’t they share styles? If the issue is the ability to quickly distinguish whether one is using offline or online maps, couldn’t we just have a simple badge in the corner indicating we’re using one or the other?
It’s hard enough to design one good outdoor map. And there are plenty of mapping services in which the downloaded maps are identical to online ones. So why has Suunto decided to have separate styles for online and offline?
