On APRSISCE/32 Lynn displays the tiles from lower zoom levels if the higher zoom level tiles are missing. It can get pretty blocky and fuzzy if you are trying to zoom into some high detail when you only have a wide area tile, but it would be better than nothing. Lynn also automatically fetches the current zoom level, and 2 zoom levels lower when viewing an area. This lets you zoom in two levels closer for any area downloaded when you're offline later. Shapefiles are the way to go, and a better rendering engine would make them as pretty, or prettier than what you see on the OSM tiles. I'd put that up high on the priority list for the phantomware Xastir 2.0 Yeah, I don't do any work on the program, I just poke my head in once and a while and whine...
