I am currently trying to get Osmand's attention to the same problem. The point is that Mapnik's default rendering style is replicated to other applications. Indeed, Osmand's style is nearly identical to Mapnik's. Again on the subject of the tracktype tag: something tells me that many of you may have never used the tracktype in earnest. So lets do an exercise. See these pictures here http://www.dzai.com.br/dtna/foto/galeria?fot_id=222064. You will see a Bus and a truck both stuck in the mud of what happens to be an important road (otherwise there would be no bus and no truck). So what tracktype should we use here? These roads were perfectly passable a few weeks ago. Do you see the problem? I map rural highways all the time and I find myself unable to use this tag for one very simple reason: unsurfaced roads change all the time. One particular road may be grade3 today and grade5 a few months later. If you are an experienced driver you first ask locals about the state of the road before going ahead.
