Town and village names not shown on mapsforge vector map

If I use http://download.mapsforge.org/maps/europe/germany/sachsen.map or http://www.openandromaps.org/maps/Germany/sachsen.zip, the names of some places are not shown.

With the latter map and no stylesheet, the name of the

• town "Bad Schandau" in Saxony, Germany is not shown at zoom levels 10 - 13 and 15, 17.
  
• village "Waltersdorf" in Saxony, Germany is not shown at zoom levels 14 - 16
  

I checked at the OSM website, but not in the map itself, that these places are correctly labeled.

If I use my own stylesheet that contains

Code:


               <!-- place -->
                <rule e="node" k="place" v="*">
                        <rule e="node" k="place" v="country" zoom-max="6">

                        </rule>
                </rule>


then the name of the

• town "Bad Schandau" in Saxony, Germany is only shown at zoom level 14
  
• village "Waltersdorf" in Saxony, Germany is not shown at zoom levels 12, 14, 16
  
• village "Kurort Rathen" in Saxony, Germany is not shown at zoom levels 12, 15 - 17
  

According to my stylesheet, these places should be shown on all zoom levels >= 12.

Hi;

Sorry, but OruxMaps does not paint the map; this work is done by mapsforge library. It is a transparent process to the application. It must be a problem with the library, or the style definition file. Have you tried if it works in other applications?

I've tried it with AdvancedMapViewer-0.3.1, which also shows some weird bugs. However, AdvancedMapViewer doesn't show the zoom level and I don't know what stylesheet it uses internally.

I open issue http://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/issues/detail?id=448. Since this issue is related to Oruxmaps, it will help the mapsforge developers if you also track this issue.
