How do you zoom on Android phones? There does not seem to be any way to do it.
I want to cache massive offline maps but need to be able to zoom in and out!
Thanks. |

Zooming (at least on my) Android is quite inconvenient:
Main Menu -> Load Map -> *Navigate from TB maps root dir to current map dir (remember which zoom level I have picked before in order to now chose the correct one) -> load the map
1.
The "change layer" field described in the wiki does not work for me, i.e. nothing happens when I touch it. (The other fields do work.)
Are there any special requirements for the layers field to work?
2.
Easyzoom also does not work, i.e. the volume buttons still change the ringing volume of the phone. (Settings -> Desktop -> Easyzoom -> layers)
3.
Are there any plans to improve the navigation on Android phones?
Especially are more convenient zooming would be great!

Try to use "Load atlas" instead ... 
Ad.1 Do you have few layers containing maps for the area?
Ad.2 Volume keys option can be used on SE phones.
Ad.3. Look at point 1 again |

When I do/did this I was always getting only a black screen. Only the Android status bar (time, signal strength, etc.) is visible and in the application region of the screen you can only see "Select Layer". Touching the screen at any region does not do anything. I cannot access the main menu at this point by using the menu button on my phone. Using the "back" button on my phone results in the message "Incorrect file selected. Try again." The rest of the screen is still black. Now I can access the main menu again.

Only one layer with several zoom levels. I thought layers were supposed to store different types of maps and within these maps you have zoom levels. I was used to this kind of meaning of layers when dealing with maps-related applications or web services all the time until now.
I have now created a small test atlas where I put each zoom level on a different layer and it does work now!
I would recommend to mention this differnt definition of layers somewhere in the wiki. I can imagine that I am not the only one who gets confused by this slightly different meaning and usage of the term layers.
Thank you very much for your help! |
