Ah yes, well it does at a very coarse level. But as noted its not exact, and
its still possible to zoom further that is actully available.

I beleive this comes from the 'Copyright' message/service, it says what the
max zoom level available probably is. But it seems to model the world as a
set of rectangles (and in that rectangle a given provider is used) - but
that doesnt map to actual imagery.
