Coarse maps

[snk007]

Hi,

my search in this forum did not came up with something useful, but I would wonder if I would be the first to ask this...
Is it somehow possible to disable the 1x map download to enable the use of large-area (whole countries) maps? The 2x or 4x Zoom is often more than enough (at least for me...).

Plus a little nice suggestion for the future:
Remove the initial map selection, choose available maps from the current position automatically, if a position overlaps with more than one map the user should be able to switch through available maps for this region by a press on a single button. Its just a bit more user-friendly.

Cheers!

You can select any zoom range while generating maps (I believe I provide a world map @`30MB with one of the versions as an example)

Relying on GPS signal to load the maps automatically is not such great idea.. because:
- not all people use it with gps devices
- gps warmup may take a few minutes - a user may use this time browsing through the map, preparing for the trip...

Unless you own a private plane, good luck getting GPS to work from inside of a giant metal tin can.

Yep, that would be great if we could disable 1x and 2x, most of the time it's too close anyway to be useful while driving...

There are some streets that only show up on 1x, the names anyhow.

Hey,

I found the zoom setting, think this setting is really important and deserves a better place in gmdl...
Anyway, you should be able to disable the 1x to have coarse maps for a region and more detailed in cities... I hope u plan that, shouldn't be to hard to implement, think its harder to implement in gmdl.

Keep up the good work! :thumbup:

u found it? care to share?

[snk007]

u have to press the [advanced...] button, there u'll find a min-zoom edit field, increase that to 2-3...

have fun!
