Title: Question about vector map and zoom level
Post by: forlax_12 on July 16, 2012, 20:17:21
Hi

My question is : How does text display with vector maps based on the zoom level ?
Because I find it strange how Locus works.

You find the screenshot that explains this.

You can see a map of a region of France with the city of Mulhouse :

After increasing the zoom level, the name of the city of Mullouse disappears !

After increasing the zoom level, all city names disappear !!

After increasing the zoom level, the name of the Mulhouse city is come back !!!

How explain that ?

hehe very nice screenshots :))

anyway if there is any problem with visibility of names, it will be probably issue in default skin that is used for vector maps. I really suggest to go to Locus Shop (under main menu in application) and under first tab are "Themes - vector maps". So check some of them, download any and then in Settings > Maps advanced, change these skins. Some of them will for sure works better for you

don't know if my explanation will be enough, if no tell me.

Hi Menion

I tested several skin (Classic Map, Osmarender, gzx) and the problem is the same.
But, when i used the application AdvanceMapViewer from Mapsforges, the city name are displayed correctly depending on the zoom level.

Hi,
I've tried to reproduce your problem, but unfortunately I am able to see the text name Mulhouse in each zoom level (from zoom level 6 to  level 14). Could you please provide better screens shoots? Also change the information in top panel to show "Map".
Regards Petr

Hi

I continued my investigations.
I use the theme : Osmarender

The folowing capture is strange :

Zoom Level 9, and Scale : 30km
After restart Locus
(//https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-JuE8B_jH-lU/UBGFTkJunvI/AAAAAAAABQ0/zjyL00lWE2E/h120/2012-07-26_19-57-21.png)
You can see the same Zoom Level 9, but the scale is 50km !!! and the city name Strabourg is dislay

Please find the screen capture with zoom level information :
