Problem
The map style renders every track the same, regardless of the tracktype value, which is crucial for hiking activities.
Isolines are okay, but a hillshade would be much better.

Solution
The tracktype value should be used to render tracks differently, similar to the Mapnik render.
Hillshade should be added with isolines.

Alternatives
I use Mapnik render on openstreetmap.org to see which tracks are the best.

Additional context
map

Hey, there's a beta in this release to test the first differentiations of track types. You are welcomed to join and give feedback.

Regarding hillshade, it's important to keep issues separate by topics. Here is already one issue where you could keep adding your feedback. #4163

Thank you

Thanks, I installed the beta but can't see any differentiation based on tracktype.

Have you tried with a difficult track using the outdoor styles? What tags are you expecting to take into account?

Not sure what you mean by difficult track but yes I tried the outdoor styles.
I'm referring to this tag: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tracktype

tracktype is not rendered in Organic Maps, but rendering of difficult (sac_scale) and poorly visible (trail_visibility) paths and footways was recently added in #7926. That change will be included in the May release that comes in a few days.
