Rather than try to restrict the allowed zoom levels, it might be better to pull in an image of a nearby OSM level and then rescale it to the requested Xastir zoom level. That's what the terraserver and other .geo code does.
Yep, my take on it too, which would bypass a lot of minor problems.
Regardless, it's cool that OSM is usable now. If it were more easily adapted for use with user-selected zoom levels (especially those in bookmarks), it' be even better.
They sure are pretty aren't they? I already like them better than Tigermaps. Once the issues are resolved we'll definitely be several steps forward.
