differentiating between "shop=bicycle" and "amenity=bicycle_rental" about cyclofix-website HOT 7 CLOSED

This is really good to know. Didn't know Cyclofix was based on a broader tool like MapComplete, which seems to handle what I found was missing from Mapcontrib (mainly the intuitive ability for map users to add data to OSM, which Mapcontrib seems to lack).

Which is why MapComplete was created. Note that creating your own theme isn't really polished yet.

I've added in the possibility to set the loaded language via a URL-parameter

as a quick follow-up, I would actually suggest keeping the black symbol (and its useful add-on icons) for any bike shop.
And maybe designate the red (or another icon) as bike rental.

Hi,

Glad that you like it!

A black symbol is a shop (thus actually selling bikes), whereas a red one does not sell bikes (but might repair or hire).

A amenity=bicycle_rental which has a network=* tag is hidden from cyclofix. If you add a 'network' to those docks, they'll dissapear from cyclofix.

You'll probably also be interested in the ghostbikes theme and the cycle-infra theme (the latter one is still in beta and needs quite some improvements)

At last: you can also create your own mapcomplete theme from scratch for whatever POI you want - as long as it fits into OSM. Have a look at the documentation

Ah this is good to know. I'm going to add network=* to all the bike docks in my city then. that will fix it!

I don't think I'll need to create e new theme. I can use Cyclofix, and just adjust the legend items and location in the url, then share that url with the community. As long as people refer to the specific link, it will remain very relevant locally.

Actually, if I do make my own custom map, it might just be because of language. Fr usually needs to be first here, and lang preferences don't seem to be saved in the URL like legend and loc does (this might be something worth adding!)
I can see that when making a custom map, you can set lang options in order... which would be the only way of setting fr to the default
