Maybe should not render big protected areas

[naoliv]

Have this big protected area https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/179088159

In OSM nothing is rendered at this location, for example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/-22.5542/-47.9021

But in osmand the screen is filled with light-green P icons:

Maybe areas like this should not be rendered at all? (to avoid filling all the map with green P icons)

I found a other protected area(https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3547850), and it looks similar to the area from your link.
In OsmAnd this is not rendered. I dont know if this is because this is a multipolygon, or for the protect_class=5 tagging.

Can you test the rendering if you add protect_class=5 to your area?

Hey @naoliv, that "big protected area" is very close to the region I'm mapping, so in your homage I created another: APA Tietê. :)

This kind of protected area (protect_class=5) is less restrict than those full protected areas (protect_class=1 to 3). I lived there for a few years, you can do pretty much everything in a normal life except there are some restrictions as to farms, woods and specific sites. So I believe it's not necessary to render "P" icons everywhere unless the area is fully protected.

EDIT: Test result in the following post.

Update: it took a while to update the map to test how the protected area that I added would turn out.

The protected area (r8712428) is a boundary relation that shares their limits with the administrative boundaries of two municipalities. The result:

1. No "P" icons (in reference to @hakuchi reply).
2. The administrative boundaries included in the protected area relation vanished.
3. Every segment of the protected area boundary has now a Ⓟ POI icon while one instance of such icon was supposed to be at the barycenter of the protected area.
4. OSM Relation Analyzer says it is ok.

What is it meant to protect?

What is it meant to protect?

Mostly scenic landscape and historical sites (18th and 19th century). There are some governamental programs and laws towards environment restoration and sustainable agricultural, forestry and tourism while it allows anthropic interaction.

@IgorEliezer regarding your example near Rio Tiete. Protected areas with protect_level>=5 are not rendered by design https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/blob/master/obf_creation/rendering_types.xml#L5152
Also I can't confirm that admin_level boundaries are vanished. Do you use OsmAnd Live?

Main issue is fixed but issue regarding POI data is created #6134
