Differentiation of UK road classification


PlasmaWave

Question

MAP FEATURE REQUEST for UK Premium Maps:

Incorporate UK's system of coloured roads, in order to help user differentiation between the various class of roads - base on OS maps.


Roads shown on Cachly Premium maps for the UK have only two colours ... blue for motorways and orange (or is it yellow?) for ALL other road types regardless of how major or minor. This makes it difficult for the user to understand what type/class of road they are looking at or driving on. See attached screen shots for Cachly Premium Map compared to OS of same area.

 

OS maps for UK use colours to differentiate between the various road classifications:

Motorways = blue

'A' class 'Major Trunk' roads = green

'A' class roads = red

'B' class roads = orange

Minor class roads = yellow

Unclassified roads = white

 

You might well say to solve this, use the OS map option within Cachly - I already do use OS when nearly at a cache - however there are a couple of very limiting features with using OS maps in Cachly:

1. Internet connection required to download OS tiles

2. Limited OS zoom range - cannot look at a zoomed out overview
