The zoom level chart below is from ESRI and is for Google Map Service. Great plugin I could never really understand the zoom levels with vector tiles in qgis and I can not get the Min. I assume this published map scale is for tiles that do not have a lot of distortion in their projection (those near equator). A map scale changes as a ratio of length to pixel size (this ration goes up as you approach the poles because the longitudal distance approaches zero when approaching the poles, but is represents as equidistant in the Mercator Projection that Google uses.Īlso, map tile size is determined by pixels.įor example I use openmaptiles data and for housenumbers I set to min zoom of 17 but they. The map is fully customizable as our MapTiler Cloud supports creating own styles or derivatives of the existing ones with built-in WYSIWYG design tool. X, Y, Zoom notation - X is the column, Y is the row position of the tile in the tile grid, and the Zoom notation a value based on the zoom level. The above sample file can be visible from zoom level 12 to 16. If you have two computer screens of the same size, but different resolution, then the map tiles will show up different size on each screen and the scales will be inherently different. As each of our map, the Streets style also includes a possibility to change the language. Currently, there are more than 50 languages supported. Quadkey notation - Combines x, y, and zoom information into a single string value. Your personal access token must be set in MapIt Settings->Cloud Accounts->Mapbox->Mapbox.

Map tiles are equally sized in each zoom level. Instructions are provided in Change the Map Source. There is an excellent example of the google tiling scheme at : You can also see from the shading to represent map tiles that map tiles remain a constant pixel size (256 pixel square) as you zoom in. Ensure you are at a zoom-level for which you have generated map tiles. Is there a way to change the zoom levels. One tile from a previous zoom level is represented by four tiles in the next zoom level. So that one can zoom in beyond 60ft/20 m using an ESRI base map.
