Offline Overview Map

Joern shared this question ago

Answered

Is it possible to have a very basic, low poly, world map when zooming out, instead of the "Loading..." tiles? I understand that topo maps can only be zoomed out 'that' much because of complexity. However, I am switching between countries or even continents quite frequently when planning, and it's very difficult to quickly re-centre the map on to a different part of the world. Thank you very much.

I do not have to switch maps manually when using the world map.

In "Einstellungen --> Karten --> Offline Karten" ("Settings --> Maps --> Offline maps" I guess in englisch) I have set "Karte automatisch laden" and "Lade Standardkarte" where I define my world map which automatically appears when I zoom out my vector maps. ("Automatic map loading" and "Pre-load global map" in english I guess)

Look here too ....

Hi c.s.g. Thanks for the link. However, that's not quite what I had in mind, since I still have to actively switch maps to get the overview.

I thought that there might be an "easy" way to implement a basic world map (just country outlines would be enough) that automatically appears when the zoom level exceeds the proper map's resolution. Just so I don't have to guess wildly where I need to pan to compare an Australian route with an American, or European, or whatever.

Cheers

You Sir, are an absolute star. Thank you so much. I didn't know about that setting. Much appreciated. Have a great day.

Ok, either I'm stupid or...

How do I mark this as answered? I clicked just about everywhere.

There is also available simple world vector map for all vector maps. You can download it from Menu > Store > search for "World base map" and download it. Locus automatically select this map if you use another vector maps (LoMap) and you zoom-out to the country zoom level (zoom-level < 10)

Thanks, Petr
