Hi,
First post here, I’m only a very basic user. I think I should be able to state my question clearly without having to describe my use case in detail.
Basically I need to know the relative scale factor between each zoom levels.
The OSM wiki (as viewed today) lists 21 zoom levels (from 0 to 20), but I only seem to get 20:
- zoomed out fully, the address bar shows
www.openstreetmap.org/#map=0/
- zoomed in fully, the address bar shows
www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/
I need to know which zoom level is missing. This is not obvious, because I can see any of the following happening:
- level 20 is missing, the address bar uses the same level numbers as the wiki
- level 0 is missing, and all levels have been renumbered, so when the address bar shows 0 the scale is actually what the wiki shows as 1.
- an intermediate level n is missing, some levels have been renumbered, so
- when the address bar shows 0 the scale is actually what the wiki shows as 0,
- when the address bar shows n-1 the scale is actually what the wiki shows as n-1,
- when the address bar shows n the scale is actually what the wiki shows as n+1,
- when the address bar shows 19 the scale is actually what the wiki shows as 20.
Does this make sense? Clearly there are lots of ways to check manually but I’d like to know properly. Please let me know if any clarification is required.
