Cruiser cannot be faster than Cruiser GL, only “appears” in specific area / zoom / test.
Software rendering can never be faster than OpenGL hardware accelerated rendering.
More an illusion because of the heavy nature polygons in the specific DE & NL areas.
That’s why there is option to turn off Vegetation layer if users find it difficult in devices.
Cruiser GL platform offers map rotation / tilt, smooth scaling, improved labeling, etc.
Some are essential for navigation, users will start asking why any of them is missing.
Map appearance is something subjective, some may like it, other may not.
That’s a subject for a different topic, like ideas to improve map colors, etc.
I could try further offline map rendering improvements, but need detailed feedback for current situation.
Testing Germany & Netherlands maps, since they have numerous heavy complicated nature polygons.
@Teun and everyone else:
Which zoom levels from 8-9-10-11 have still problems with Kurviger 1.11.6 (Beta)?
Can you post details for each zoom level, to see how each one can be improved?

Hmm, that really depends on the selected area.

Map center near Tilburg Netherlands:
13.1 => perfect smooth
12.9 - 12.1 => ~1-3 fps
11.9 - 11.1 => nearly smooth ~10 fps
10.9 - 10.1 => ~3 fps
9.9 - 9.1 => ~10 fps
8.9 - 8.1 => ~5-10 fps
7.9 => perfect smooth
Map center near Utrecht Netherlands
13.1 => perfect smooth
12.9 - 12.1 => ~3-5 fps
11.9 - 11.1 => ~5-10 fps
10.9 - 10.1 => ~3-5 fps
9.9 - 9.1 => ~3-5 fps
8.9 - 8.1 => 3-5 fps
7.9 => perfect smooth
Please take the fps rates with a grain of salt, as I’ve estimated them, and the performance is not constant either.
But the zoom level thresholds should be very close
Kurviger is based on Cruiser (GL) platform, cannot say anything more on that.
Pretty frustrating this. I do not understand your explanation and have the feeling that I am just not getting an answer to a direct question. I appear to miss some basic information which is obvious to you, or something, I don’t know. I will stop discussing this now. I will use Cruiser (not GL) for importing gpx files and I will enjoy the more beautiful and faster offline map experience. Hopefully you will not change that with an update.

As said, after restarting the app the very thick lines are now less thick and the yerkiness of map and menu on 3040 is not great but acceptable.
I had to wait 53 min to be able to post this reply, because I hit the daily quotum for a new user its says. Pfff!
Enjoy your driving, don’t watch the gps too much Speak to you later maybe. Teun
Very nice of you to accept this Teun, and thanks a LOT for all the details. I think we can all agree that your posts were not spam the daily quota is a feature of the forum software in general and nothing against you
What was the exact question?
Why Kurviger is based on Cruiser GL platform and not on Cruiser platform instead?
That was the design from the start, because of the many GL features / advantages.
It’s like asking why we don’t prefer Google Maps or Mapbox map engines software.
Each forum software has features and rules which all who participate are following.
If you encounter issues like that, please don’t hesitate to send us a message. In the first 24 hours of signing up in the forum there are some extra restrictions to restrict spambots etc. I raised the limit a bit so it’s a bit harder to hit the limit now. I think the issue was that you replied multiple times (and then deleted these duplicated messages), therefore you came closer to the 24 hour post limit.
