Custom Zoom Levels
Tom
What: This would be the ability to add multiple maps that change based on the user's zoom level.
Why: Different information is often needed depending on the zoom level of a map. All the way zoomed out, a user may not care about minor settlements or footpaths for example. But zoomed in, they become relevant and no longer clutter the larger map. This improvement would allow the best of both worlds.
How: Basic CONOPS could be as follows:
- User creates a map as they currently do.
- User uploads a second map, likely the same dimensions as the first.
- In the primary map, the user can use the "..." side menu to "Create new zoom level" and select a map image. The zoom level would default to the current primary map zoom level. This may add an additional UI element somewhere (like the sidebar) to allow future customization or removal. Hopefully multiple zoom levels could be added.
- Now, when the user zooms past the set zoom level, tiles from the new image will be loaded in the same coordinate system as the main map.
