[closed] zoom-values become 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

[jidanni]

Reading http://www.offline-maps.net/en/help/maps/stored/custom I used
<zoom-values>14,15,16,17,18,19,20</zoom-values>
Even though the map works fine, but as you see ("5/7") internally they apparently became 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
What is going on?!

For the casual user, this is just saying that you are at the relative zoom level, X out of Y, which probably makes sense for most users. But, I agree that the real map zoom value should also be displayed, maybe in brackets.

[jidanni]

All I know is every other map uses the real zoom levels. And it makes zero sense not to. In fact I believe this is a regression from previous correct behavior.

Wait! I see in other .AQX files there is not
<zoom-values>14,15... but instead
<zoom-levels z="14,15...
which is totally not mentioned in http://www.offline-maps.net/en/help/maps/stored/custom nor anywhere else on the whole site!

Oh,
http://www.alpinequest.net/en/help/v2/m ... and-create only mentions zoom-levels, and
http://www.offline-maps.net/en/help/maps/stored/custom only mentions zoom-values. Great.

Most users don't know the OSM zoom ID, so it's not displayed by default.

But you can turn on its display using this user settings:

Code: Select all

map.canvas.display_osm_zoom_id=1

Also, "<zoom-values>1,2,3...</zoom-values>" has been replaced by "<zoom-levels z=1,2,3...>...</zoom-levels>" in AQX version 8 (OM 2.3). But it's retro-compatible so both can now be used.
I've updated the online help.
