[closed] Say 14/13 etc. when we overzoom

As we hit the plus button the notation we see displayed changes from 11/13, 12/13, 13/13 and then just stays that way even though we are still able to increase the zoom.

I propose that it should say 14/13, 15/13... in this case.

I do not think it's right. If max zoom is 13 and you hit plus button you don't zoom but just strech the picture. It's not the real zoom. It's very well seen if you check Lock zoom on levels in Settings. If you use slider up in this case zoom level stays at the real zoom position 13. All other hits on plus button are not zooming so it's not quite correct to say 14/13, 15/13... in this case. (IMHO)

Yes but it is better than just saying 13/13 no matter how much we overzoom.
Or do you have a better proposal of what to say in this case? 13+/13, 13/13oz ? for all ovezooming levels?

My proposal is to stay everything as it is :-)
IMHO
But if you consider 14/13, 15/13 will not misinform let's do it.

I concur. Zoom and magnify are different concepts!

Following jidanni request, I made a small change (available in the AlpineQuest 2.0.5, OfflineMaps will be update soon).
The current level of detail stays the same, as even if you overzoom it's still the last level (ie 13/13) which is displayed.
However when you activate the equivalent Google/OSM zoom id display, this one will increase to match the overzommed scale.
You can activate the display of the equivalent Google/OSM zoom id using this user setting:

Code: Select all

map.canvas.display_osm_zoom_id=1
