Skipping zooms #159

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
It would be nice if you can skip some zooms on this program. The most
useful part is zoom 0 (street name level). Then you can skip out to zoom 4
(city level). Then zoom 7 ( country level).

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?
I hope it can make the cache smaller than caching all the zooms.

That is an excellent idea! 
More than one user already mention that they run out of space quickly.

It should be configurable. User should get an option to download maps for a 
certain zoom levels only. In between the user selected zoom levels, display the 
high zoom level images in some bigger shape (not detail and clear but looks 
good) as used in google earth.

How and Where! good questions!

I'm going to assume that you have some programming skills and know some Python.
Here are instructions on HOW to setup the a Python + PyGTK:

The WHERE is a bit more complicated, for now I give you a link to the code:
http://gmapcatcher.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/gmapcatcher/mapServers/
in that folder we keep all the "maps url", you might want to start with a 
simple one like OSM:

openStreetMaps.py
Here is Yahoo:

yahoo.py
