Map Scale and Image Resolution

Please note that not all maps support all scale ranges as there's providers serving only large scale mapping material (e.g. map scales up to 14). Moving scale slider provides feedback of actual size of pixel on selected map scale.Try to keep scale range suitable to actual map's purpose. Downloading map data on maximum zoom scale for large area may take lots of time and may take longer and result in large image files.
