Thanks; that helped me reset the option back to the default. > But my guess as to why you're not seeing the details shrink would be > that you don't have actually have the higher-detail tiles: if you zoom in > to level 10, for example, but have tiles only up to level 9, then it'll > `overzoom'--the idea being that a less-detailed or blurry section > on the map is better than an *empty* section. No, that's not the case. This is in the city where I live, where I regularly contribute to OSM, and have all the tiles downloaded to zoom level 16. foxtrot was definitely _not_ showing the highest level detail available. But it's OK... now knowing how to twiddle the setting with gconf offline, I can still maintain functionality while playing with the option to get a better description for a bug report (if applicable). ~James On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 12:29:33AM -0400, Joshua Judson Rosen wrote: > James Hiebert <[email protected]> writes: > > > > I think that the "map detail" option in the map context menu is broken. > > I clicked the "map detail->fewer/larger details" option at one point. > > However now the map is stuck there.
