organic - One option for trail styling that you might consider is a narrow line on top of a wider line with the two lines having different colors.

Here is an example using Open Topo Map and a GIS layer with trail data (green/black) from the U.S. Forest Service. Near the center of the map the trail has been relocated (personal knowledge) and the OSM data shows the current location.

Open GISsurfer map:

Organic Maps

@mappingsupport @crowdotblack @ai6yr isn’t this approach limited to only two trails at the same place?

Hmmm... I might not be sure of your question.

The 2-tone trails that GISsurfer can display is one set of trail data that is displayed twice.

If there is a second set of GIS trail data then that data could also be displayed twice. Perhaps with a wide orange line and then a narrow black line.

The purpose of the 2-tone approach is so the trail is easy to see irrespective of whatever data the basemap is showing.
