Map look

The map as a phone shows it.

Five places on map.dock.mn as a phone opens it, in five looks: day, dusk, night, winter and winter night. Every picture is the real screen.

Pictures The map

Six items

done	Five looks	Day, dusk, night, winter and winter night: five styles made from OpenFreeMap Liberty (BSD), served at map.dock.mn/styles and dock.mn/sdk/v1/map/styles. The map picks one by the hour. At night the ground is dark grey, buildings read as blocks (1.54 to 1 on the ground), main roads muted amber, names near white. At night and winter night the walls have lit windows from z16 to z18.8. Base tiles are still OpenFreeMap's, attributed.
done	Places in tiers	Bus stops from z14, blue. Essentials from z15.5: hospital, GS25, CU, Circle K, Номин, Emart, malls, bank, fuel, school, pharmacy, kindergarten; a crowded corner keeps them in that order. The rest from z16.5. Icons from dock's own SDF sprite, one colour per category. No name, no icon, stops aside. Stop names from z15.5: at the square 3 of 4 stops are named, the fourth has a Latin-only name. The picture script counts each tier at the square in all five looks at z14, 15.4, 15.5, 16.4 and 17 and fails on a tier drawn too early or missing.
done	Building numbers and names	Building numbers from z17 where they fit the roof, and the names of public buildings (school, kindergarten, ministry, hospital) from z16, from the official layer (ALAMGAC, ХХЗХ zipcode.mn). Now 8,985 buildings have a number and 132 public buildings a name; 121 names OSM already draws within 300 m are left to OSM. Names are cleaned: "13-р сургууль 960 сурагч" becomes "13-р сургууль"; a purpose alone ("Цэцэрлэг", "Шүдний эмнэлэг") is no name. The labels are rebuilt when the layer grows.
done	Buildings	Every building one neutral tone, with an outline a shade darker from z15.5; no pink or blue building. The five landmarks (Government Palace, Blue Sky, Shangri-La, Gandan, Zaisan) are a shade darker by their own footprint on the flat map and at their own height in 3D, a shade lighter at night. The picture script checks in all five looks that buildings have one colour and the landmarks another, and in each of the four 3D views that the blocks stand and the view's landmarks stand apart; anything else fails the run.
partial	Labels	On the Mongolian map a name shows only when it has a Cyrillic letter; a Latin-only place has no name and no icon. Chain signs stay in Latin (GS25, CU, Circle K, Emart). The traditional script part is cut. A place name tries below, above, right and left of its icon, in that order; a stop name stays on the right: each look draws 72 names over the five places. In each look, over the five places, 2 names cross the top of the sheet, 10 the edge of a button or the dock mark, 34 the screen edge. 9 of them have no whole copy on screen; the rest show whole elsewhere. Of the 9: 6 sit under a UI button (dock mark, btn-3d, btn-locate or btn-layers) — map.setPadding on the app side (lane U) clears them; 2 are at the screen edge alone (two road names); 1 crosses the sheet top. Zaisan draws 0 lost; the hill is in the picture.
done	Winter	Checked against December photos of Sükhbaatar square (2014, 2016): the ground, the square and the pavements are snow, the cleared roads dark asphalt. Now the roads are grey, main roads darkest (3.6 to 1 on the snow), the square stays snow, water pale ice. A winter night preset is there: cool slate ground, roofs with snow on them (1.86 to 1 on the ground), roads warm amber under the lamps, main roads brightest (4.4 to 1). The map picks them by the phone's clock: November to March, winter from 07:00 to 17:00 and winter night after 19:00. The picture script checks six moments (December 12:00 and 21:00, March 06:30 and others) and fails on a wrong look.

Seen in the pictures, still to fix

Names cut by a UI button or the dock mark: 1 at the city (Дарь-Эх), 7 at the square (Анкарагийн гудамж, Искра лицей and others), 2 at Gandan; 10 total. Lane U's map.setPadding fixes these.
Names crossing the sheet top: the square (Их сургуулийн гудамж), Gandan (Абсолют); each shows whole elsewhere.
