Zoom level v m/p

Can anyone tell me the correlation between the Google "Zoom level" and metres per pixel?

In particular, what is the m/p value for zoom level 17?

Thanks in anticipation,

Re: Windows 7

It works fine for me on W7 64bit. I have it installed on G:\SBuilderX\

Re: probably a dumb question...

[As I mentioned, I can't get an image into Sbuilder and some of the menu items in the tutorial don't exist :( Are you reading the correct tutorial? Search for make_photo-real_ground_textures_in_fs_x.zip at Avsim Luis has written it such that a computer illiterate can do it. As you are computer lite...

Hmm, I can get only to Zoom 14 in either GE or VE, Luis.

Ah, I see, the zoom level is dependent on the area defined. Smaller areas allow for greater zoom.

Re: Dragging background image

I am not creating a map, and certainly not at zoom 16, I am creating individual tiles at zoom 19. However, it would be useful if one could create multiple tiles at zoom 19. Using Add Map from Background doesn't really help since one can easily end up with huge bmps. It is very simple to create bgls ...

Re: Dragging background image

Unfortunately GetTiles has a maximum zoom level of 14 :cry:

Re: Dragging background image

Hi Luis, I hadn't realised the existence of GetTiles. Can one specify a particular zoom level? BTW. I had 408 BMPs of Logan. Without blendmasks, the combined resampled bgl is about 300MB. Mojave, I have two monitors each of 1280x1024. Even if I open SBX across both screens I wouldn't have the requir...

Re: Dragging background image

Hi Luis,

This is probably a better picture to illustrate the problem, The dark bands are where the individually compiled tiles overlap.

Re: Dragging background image

Hello George, All tiles are geo-referenced, that is, they are placed in the precise geographical location where they should be located. So, they should not be moved at all, or else the resulting custom textures will not be in the correct place. I understand that Luis, I am not moving the tiles. I a...

Dragging background image

Making photo tiles from background images is incredibly easy, however, dragging the background image so that the tiles butt against each other isn't. http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/2672/dragging.jpg Might it be possible to add keyboard shortcuts to move the image left/right/up/down by exactly th...

I'll look into this. :)

Thanks Dick,

So it looks like the plugin can zoom to one level less than GMaps?

Re: Tile Server Plug-Ins for SBuilderX

Hi Dick,

Using the GE plugin I can zoom only to level 18 whereas with GMaps at the same position I can zoom to level 19. Do you have an explanation?
