OpenGL map rendering and 3D view in navigation

[devemux86]

OpenGL map rendering engine with 3D navigation view and offline hill shading will return in the next Cruiser.

You will be able to select the map rendering engine you want in each profile separately.

@MotoUKRider has already started improving the Motorider (OpenGL) map theme. 👍

• Motorider map theme (VTM) #176

[DolomitesTom]

this is the news of the century

OpenGL map rendering engine will also have a new feature:

• Offline hill shading that blends nicely with the 3D view

See the the updated images above:

WOW, mehr kann ich dazu nicht sagen.
Könntet ihr bitte noch einmal schreiben, wo man die Einstellungen setzen muß, um dass Ergebnis wie auf dem rechten Bild zu haben von der Ansicht?

WOW, that's all I can say

Could you please write again where to set the settings to get the result like on the right picture of the view?

@ToToGSARider

Enable the hill shading in "Settings | Map". You can also select the magnitude of the hill shading.

Aktivieren Sie die Schattierung unter "Einstellungen | Karte". Sie können auch die Stärke der Schattierung auswählen.

[ToToGSARider]

Gibt es da eine Empfehlung von euch?

Do you have any recommendations?

[devemux86]

@ToToGSARider

For the magnitude of the hill shading? The default should be good. You can change it if you like.

Über die Stärke der Hügelschattierung? Die Standardeinstellung sollte gut sein. Sie können sie ändern, wenn Sie möchten.

For those who like the "Biker" theme, here's how it looks on its first load into the App:

Same behaviour as the "Light" theme that we're putting into the next 3D build, but with the "Biker" 🎨 🖍️ 🗺️

@MotoUKRider You can create a new thread "Biker map theme (VTM)" for this Biker theme.

OpenGL map rendering engine and 3D view in navigation are again available in:

• Cruiser 5.3.0 Beta 12 #734

(Settings | Map | Advanced)
OpenGL is the new default map rendering engine.

[devemux86]

• OpenGL map rendering engine and 3D view in navigation are again available in Cruiser 5.3.0 #757

(Settings | Map | Advanced)
OpenGL is the new default map rendering engine.

[devemux86]

Map rendering engine can now be changed in "Settings | Map | Advanced".

An alternative could be to have 2 app launchers, each starting the app with its own map engine.
Do you think this idea is more useful?

[ToToGSARider]

Do you also mean that when you start the app, you are asked whether you want to use 3D? Mmhh, I would rather put it in a setting. For example, if I switch back and forth between the WunderLINQ app and Cruiser, would the prompt appear again and again?

Also du meinst damit, wenn man die App startet, dass dann eine Abfrage kommt ob man 3D nutzen möchte? Mmhh, ich würde es eher in eine Einstellung packen. Wenn ich zum Beispiel zwischen der WunderLINQ App und Cruiser hin und her springe, würde dann auch immer wieder die Abfrage kommen?

No, I don't think so... I have different profiles for different use cases. Hiking uses OAM and Mapsforge rendering, Driving uses OpenGL rendering. I just want to change the profile and not start a different app icon.

[kds112]

Maybe you can place this setting at a more representative position in the settings and call it "3D view (OpenGL engine)" and "2D view (Mapsforge engine)"...
