Custom scale for downloading maps

Post by Ingensor »

Author, hi! ;)
Can you improve the map download function a little? Namely, that not all scales were downloaded from small to large, but selectively...as in the screenshot, something like this... Very save memory in your phone! :P

Hi,
Yes I understand, it's not the first time I get this request.
However, when you think about it more in details, what does take space is not the first levels, but actually the lasts... And especially the last one.

Let say you want to store the map from zoom level A (on the left on your screenshot) until zoom level B (on the right on your screenshot).
Using the current version of the app, move the zoom selector over A, and check what (approximate) storage it will require. This is the amount of storage you will save. You'll see that it's nothing compared to the last level.

Also, if you don't store the lower levels, it will be very uncomfortable to use because you'll not be able to zoom out correctly...
Do you like AlpineQuest ? Leave a small comment on Google Play !

Thank you for the answer! In fact, there is no strong problem. Just manually edit the scale in the AQX files.
Yes, a lot of space is occupied by the last scale, but in some cases-only they are needed.
