Map Legend

Only Polylines differ between the Openmtbmap and the Velomap. You can see here "what you are missing" when using the Velomap. But keep in mind, simplicity is often more important than knowing everything about a way, which is only for hardcore Mountainbikers or Hikers anyhow. While the VeloMap.org aims to show you everything you need to know for cycling as commuting, race cycling or trekking/touring – the Openmtbmap shows you more or less everything possible.
