Title: Map detail scaling
Post by: Newlands on September 09, 2023, 02:47:48
I'm in a remote place where there are lots of unpaved roads and a few small towns far apart. Unfortunately Locus's default scaling makes it really hard to make sense of where I should go.  If I zoom out to where I can see my destination, the screen becomes almost blank and when I am zoomed in enough to see the roads I really can't tell where they might lead...   

Is there a simple way tell Locus (new or old version) to show more detail when zoomed out?

Thanks!

the maiwolf (sic?) desert theme is quite good for sparsely populated areas

Elements theme. "all content is shown
as soon as it is contained in the map."

@Newlands The only way, as others have already suggested, is to use a different theme.

Alternatively, you can use the route planner for planning...

Thanks!
In the new Locus (4?), I only see four themes: Hike & Bike, Ski, City and Road...
Clicking the + button takes me to the store, but there is "no data to display here".
Where can I find themes for the new version?
