bikerouter.de[1/3] The latest release of #Bikerouter brings a handy feature for the bikepacking folks.
You can now display data from the #OpenCampingMap (created and maintained by @giggls) as a map layer in Bikerouter. 🏕️
@giggls [2/3] The OpenCampingMap is an #OpenStreetMap based map that shows campsites, bivouac sites, and other overnight accommodations for cyclists, hikers and RV travelers.
Once the map layer is active, all campsites are displayed with icons. Clicking on an icon shows all relevant information about the campsite.
The feature is currently in beta but should mostly work. Available from zoom level 10.
@giggls [3/3] How to enable the OpenCampingMap layer in Bikerouter:
1. Open the layers sidebar (click on the layers icon in the top right corner)
2. Add the OpenCampingMap layer to the layer selection: Click on the “More”-Button, scroll to “Overlays”, activate the checkbox for “OpenCampingMap”
3. OpenCampingMap is now displayed as a map layer in the layer selection. You can switch it on and off as needed.
mattsches@bikerouter @giggls At first glance this feature seems to display sites that are for caravans only, too. IMHO this does not make sense for cyclists. Could this be made optional? On opencampingmap this seems already to be the case ...
@mattsches @giggls Yeah, that are the things to even out while in beta. I thought about using different map icons for different types of sites.
Sven Geggus@bikerouter Feel free to use the original ones. I could easily add an option to exclude caravan-Sites.
@giggls Thanks, maybe it'd be sane to use the same icons for easy recognition for folks that are already be familiar with OpenCampingMap đź‘Ť
I'd let caravan sites included. Even if they're not qualifying for staying the night, it may be possible to can refill the water bottles here.
