Map layers & styles¶

The Layers button at the top right opens the layer control. On a computer, the control opens when you move the mouse pointer on it. It has two parts.

The top part sets the map style. You can select OSM (Standard), Satellite and, if the server makes them available, OpenCycleMap and Topographic. On a screen with high resolution, OnRouteMap selects OSM (Retina) automatically. This style is sharper. You do not have to select it yourself.

The bottom part sets what is visible on the map. Route has no sub-items. POI contains each category on the map. Bookmarks contains your favorites and the waypoints from your GPX file. When you change a group, all items in the group change. If only some items of a group are on, the group shows a dash instead of a check mark. Toilets are off at the start, because they are often the most frequent markers and hide other POIs. Select Toilets to show them.

Your browser keeps these settings for each map. When you open the same map again, the same layers are hidden.
