Strava Heatmap resolution

First of all, wanted to say I love the app especially the strava global heatmap layer. I was just wondering if it would be possible to keep the heatmap at resolutions higher than 1:42,720. I don't mind if the heatmap would still be blurry, as I just want to be able to still see the heatmap when zooming in further. On strava's website it is possible to zoom in much further than what alpine quest allows. Here's an example of what I mean https://imgur.com/2ac7o8B
Thank you so much for this amazing app.

Hi,
Yes I understand unfortunately the strava layer is only available at a low resolution and the application only "over" scale last zoom levels 3 times.
You can change this value but it will apply for all maps (not only the strava one). You need to add this line to the "user_settings.conf" file in the application folder:

Code: Select all

map.scales.default_overscaling_levels=5
This is the only way appart from using strava own app...

Which is the right choice?

Code: Select all

map.scales.default_overscaling_level
or

Code: Select all

map.scales.default_overscaling_levels
This is what it says here:

Code: Select all

map.scales.default_overscaling_levels 	Integer 	4 	
After reaching the maximum zoom level of a map, number of possible additional “+” zoom button presses, allowing to artificially increase the display scale of the last zoom level. 
Or is this a new user setting?

Yes Alex you're right, this is:

Code: Select all

map.scales.default_overscaling_levels
I've corrected my previous answer.
