|
|
Could it be possible to implement night mode of maps by displaying them as negative or perhaps negative + 180°hue shift?
Examples:
____________original______________________negative_______________________negative + 180°hue shift

This seems to be a good function to improve the clarity of the text and improve the readability of the map. Don't know how much effort would it take to achieve this. But, it seems that it shouldn't be that difficult to implement. As a lot of apps (photos, camera etc) have already have a variation of this function.

you can use cloudmade to design your own maps, I attached my designs. You can use them if you use Mobac, by adding xml-files to the mapsources directory with the ID of the map:
| Code: |
<cloudMade>
<displayName>day map</displayName>
<styleID>41715</styleID>
</cloudMade>
|
for the day map,
and
| Code: |
<cloudMade>
<displayName>night map</displayName>
<styleID>42359</styleID>
</cloudMade>
|
for the night map.
You can use them or design your own.
I don't know how to put layers (like altitude lines or hill shadows) on top of a cloudmade map, but I think there might be other ways to design your own map.
Good luck,

| Don't know much about adding sources and designs. From what I understand that would mean creating a new atlas just for night mode. Since trekbuddy can zoom in (resample) I thought it could do simple color operations like negative and perhaps even hue shift.
