Following is a map Legend so you can see what is what. This is based on two different layouts in the following order for all highways/lines: traditional - Desktop layout. Then Velo Layout (the classic layout for GPS use). There is also a "race" layout for road/race cycling not shown here. It is based on the velo layout, but shows some less information (leaving out information not needed for race/road cycling).
Quick guide to the colors used for ways and tracks:
Black: Cycleway or paved track.
Grey: usually unpaved way of lesser quality.
Brown: Path - or footway - the smaller the dots/segments of the line - the less even the surface. Thin continuous lines are of unknown qualit</surface.
In general for brown/red/grey ways: If a way is not rated for difficulty - it will be shown as continous line.

Note that I map other keys to tracktype to give a better description. So I simply assume it is as difficult as tracktype=gradeX.

Hello! I do not get what does Xbk mean? AN Appalachian Trail is marked so ,for example. Am I right that it is not ridable?

Danke fürs erinnern – ich muss die Bilder neu hochladen und aktualisieren… (und nie mehr für sowas einen Hosting Service wie imageshack verwenden). Du kannst allerdings einfach die Legenden Karte installieren…
The first legend image (under “The main road types:”) isn’t loading for me.
Well I see – I will need to reupload all the pics – and best update them at the same time too… Made the mistake of hosting them on an image provider instead of selfhosting them (that was at a time when my webserver was not very performant)…
You could just install the legend map in the meantime…
Tolle Karte, Ich könte nur brauchen das man die Map legend als pdf herunterladen
Du kannst sie als Karte runterladen…. Das meiste erklärt sich eh von selber…
ups, das darf so natürlich nicht sein, ich werd schauen dass ich das zum nächsten Kartenupdate behebe. Melde dich bitte nochmal wenn nicht (also nächsten Freitag oder Samstag)
