Advanced Mapsforge raster map settings

Besides the default advanced map settings (see “Map entry popup menu“) Mapsforge raster maps offer the following additional settings:

  • Curved text: If enabled, then text is rendered along curved shapes (e.g., street names, rivers names, …).
  • Show labels: If enabled, then labels are shown. Disabling this option can be useful if you just want to view the map without street names and city labels.
  • Hillshading: If enabled, then Mapsforge internal hill shading is applied to the map.
    • Hillshading algorithm: A list of different hill shading algorithms provided by Mapsforge.
  • Text/Symbol/Line scale factor: The amount text/symbols/lines are scaled. A value smaller than 1.0 means that the size/width is reduced, while a value greater than 1.0 means that the size/width is increased.
