Of course; the zoom level would just be a parameter for the conversion of x/y to minlat/minlon maxlat/maxlon. I'd think that a sophisticated server could make tiles of all sizes available - i.e. if you request something at z10 then you get a large area, if you request at z18 you get a small area. A server that has only prepared tiles for download would only carry one fixed zoom level. > Secondly, to rephrase > Jukka's point, "everyone" is only "every OSM nerd", not "everyone who wants > a simple drop-in map for their webpage". "And then the web interface wanted to know something about degrees latitude and longitude, but can you believe it, nowhere did it say whether it was Fahrenheit or Celsius! Those OSM nerds just don't understand what we country folk need!!!!eleven!"
