I wouldn't think so, and in my limited experience with OsmAnd on airplanes, I've never seen that, but anything is possible.
Trying it here, if I zoom out at 100% magnification and scroll the map, then press the blue button, it reverts to 0.25 mi with some consistency and no change of the magnification. Seemingly every time. But what I didn't notice until now is that if I change the magnification, the zoom level is different when I re-center. 33%, for example, re-centers at .5 miles. 200% recenters at 500 feet. I'm not sure any of this helps, but I think it's interesting. --Bart On Sat, Nov 17, 2018 at 8:50 PM fredf <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the reply Bart. > I wonder if the rapid motion of the plane causes a change in > zoom/magnification as during the flight I had the mag. level at 100% and > did not change it but the re-center invariably brought up a screen with a > highly zoomed/magnified map - not the level I was previously using.
