Map is not displayed pixel-by-pixel; looks anti-aliased

Mike shared this problem 9 years ago
Not a Problem

My phone is a Google Nexus 4 with 1280x768 screen resolution (318ppi). When a screen capture is displayed pixel-by-pixel, it shows an anti-aliased effect.


With problem appears with and without "Resolution of maps" enabled.


Is this a setting in Locus or is this a bug?


Thanks.

I think scaled display (Settings -> Resolution of maps, Scale resolution) make this blurred effect - but without - the details on map are very tiny, right?What a mess :( Now you have a high end display hardware and no good sight.

What a pity. So we hope for a better theme...

The same effect happens even with "Resolution of maps" disabled, but to a lesser extent.

On your screenshot i see 15|148% - you zoom(scale)

try to be on 15|100% or 16|100%

same troubles?

Maps are rendered for zoom-levels 15, 16, ...etc If you zoom-in or zoom-out to the custom zoom-level which is somewhere in the middle between two levels then Locus simple rescales the tiles images. Numbed 148% means that displayed tiles are resized x 1.48 times. So if you want to see sharp edges you need to set zoom-level with magnifier buttons.

Thanks. This was not entirely clear to me, but it is now. I was using pinch-to-zoom to enlarge the map and that was obviously affecting the quality of the map rendering.
