Zoom level in information boxes

[pshepherd]

I'm enjoying using my own custom "mbtiles" maps on AlpineQuest.

For large areas I use maps with zoom levels 14-17. But for areas where I intend hiking I use zoom levels of 18-19. I can't simply use 14-19 maps as that generates too large a file (many Gb).

So, when navigating in a particular area, I'll load a "background" 14-17 map, and then a "foreground" 18-19 map.

The AlpineQuest information boxes detail the zoom level in the scale bar - something like n/m. Where m indicates the number of zoom levels available in the bottom-most map, and n the currently displayed zoom level.

My problem is that m is calculated purely from the bottom-most map ... so in the scenario above m is 4, even if I'm looking at the 18-19 map and zoomed into either level 18 or 19 (which could be correctly stated as 5/6 and 6/6).

---

The ideal solution (for myself) would be for AlpineQuest to display the zoom level as stated in the mbtiles database that it is displaying. i.e my maps would result in 14/19 to 19/19. Possible 14-/19 and 19+/19 when zoomed in/out beyond the available displayed maps.

Maybe all of this doesn't make sense in other contexts (I've only considered my special use of mbtiles). The app is fantastic as-is.

Hi and thanks for your interest in this application,
Yes, the application usually consider the first map as the "base" map, and other stacked maps as layers, this is why it only display the current zoom level number of the base map.
Maybe an alternative solution would help you, add this user setting:

Code: Select all

maps.infobox.display_osm_zoom_id=1

in the user_settings.conf file located in the application folder, and restart the app.
It will display the OSM equivalent zoom ID ranging from 0 to 25. This way you'll have an index you can refer to, even if you've reach the last level of the base map.
