No, definitely not. There should rather be work on a real overview map. There is a branch for it, but it lacks it's own style. We will need a separate style for the overview map. This will greatly help overview in Basecamp/Mapsource/Qlankdarte GT. On the device any map lower than resolution 18, is bad, because the background map is much better and 16 or 14 (speed!). If the map goes down to 14 or 16, than too many tiles have to be opened, in order to draw it, hence a hefty slowdown. Same on desktop. A multi-level overview map - say 12,14,16 is what we really need. There is a good description about overview maps also here: www.*maptk*.dnsalias.com/*MapTk*/*MapTk*_en.pdf -- scroll to page 20.

Hi List,
while testing the latest patches I found something strange: I created a map for Africa with default style using java -Xmx6000m -jar mkgmap.jar --max-jobs --nsis --precomp-sea=f:\osm\sea_20130308.zip -c template.args
When I open this map in Basecamp I just see white rectangle. I have to zoom in multiple times to see anything. Wouldn't it be better to change the default so that we display at least the boundaries off continents on very low resolutions?
Ciao, Gerd
