Hi All!
In the instructions to styles I find that there are 24 zoom levels and 24 is the "most zoomed in". But when I count, I find 27 zoom levels on my Etrex Legend HCx. 27: 5m, 26: 8m, 25: 12m, 24: 20m, 23: 30m, 22: 50m, 21: 80m, 20: 120m, 19: 200m, 18: 300m, 17: 500m, 16: 800m, 15: 1.2km, 14: 2km, 13: 3km, 12: 5km, 11: 8km, 10: 12km, 9: 20km, 8: 30km, 7: 50km, 6: 80km, 5: 120km, 4: 200km, 3: 300km, 2: 500km, 1:800km.
Now I would like to know which resolution I should use to make e.g. residential roads appear just at 300 meters. At 500 meters the map gets a bit confusing with all these little streets.
At resolution 23 they appear at 120m, with 22 already at 500m.
a) you have to set levels via mkgmap-options or us a resolution file, else 23 is mapped to 24 only. Mind that max 7 levels can be used for a single map. Trial and Error will help you.
Are there other points to change?
Apologies for this beginner's question, but I found no answer. :-(
Thanks a lot in advance, Dani
