Hi Franco, > Is there any way to get an overview map working on the mobile device, > or do we have to avoid zooming out too far? Each Garmin GPS comes with base map preinstalled. It is a world map similar to preview map on PC. GPS displays base map when you zoom out. You can replace base map with preview map, but there is not much reason to do it. -- Best regards, Andrzej ___ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev

With every level, I display less informations, and with the highest level/lowest resolution, I only display the same few informations as with the overview map, means mostly highways and the POI of some very big cities. This works pretty well on my 62s.

[mkgmap-dev] Question about the overview map
Is it true that the overview map is only used by Mapsource and Bascamp on the PC, but does not work on the mobile devices themselves ? I'm looking for a solution for the following problem: When you zoom out to a really big scale ( 100km for instance ) the Oregon will not be able to render all of the display area. Of course the map is large enough ( DACH ) , but if you zoom out to show all of Germany at once the Oregon can not handle this. I suspect that it has to scan all the 3.8GB of my dach.img for elements to display and this is simply too much. I thought that an overview map might fix this problem. Is there any way to get an overview map working on the mobile device, or do we have to avoid zooming out too far?
