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

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
