Mapstyles manager
The map-styles manager manages map styles (“render themes”) for vector maps.
Top toolbar menu
The top toolbar menu provides the following options:
- Settings:
- Extract styles: If checked then zipped styles are extracted in the “Mapsforge styles” directory. This option is useful for developing custom render themes because you can directly edit the XML file.
- Check for updates: Checks if updates are available for the styles. This works only for styles with an associated download server.
- Info: This page.
