#173 closed enhancement/feature request (worksforme)
make ways thinner

Description
the current ways are way too heavy-stroked. Problems caused by this:
- no way to see motorway_link unless you are fully zoomed, on most highways
- problems seeing the blue route "trace"
- ways that are close together merge together, except at maximum zoom
This is not a "the user can change it in navit.xml, not a bug" problem. The default setting should be usable. I tried looking at navit.xml and could not even figure out what the width settings meant, and which of the 18 (or more?!) settings I had to change. It's crazy, there should be a simple "master" width scale, or a gui setting for that to be changed in 2 clicks.

Actually, on smaller devices like the freerunner thinner ways are hard to read, so the change can't be done globally. We need to write differents layouts for differents resolutions groups (small / high).

Currently, the suggestion would be to adapt your navit.xml according your needs/tastes. It's very hard to find a setting which will fit every devices.
comparison between navit and google maps; google map is not perfect either, but their road widths are more reasonable
