Maximum zoom with google map tiles

keeka7 years ago

I am using Traccar with Google satellite tiles as the base mapping. Viewing a location simultaneously in Traccar's web interface alongside, say, maps.google.com, it seems the latter zooms an additional 3 levels or so. Can I view those higher zoom levels within Traccar? I have played with the web max zoom attribute. Though I believe that is intended for setting an upper bound on allowed zoom level.
Or is this due to limits inposed by googles map tile api?
Many thanks.

It is for upper bound. So, what happens when you set it? What do you set it to?

If I set the web max zoom attribute, it restricts the maximum zoom as expected. If I set it to 18 (the max I believe) or remove the attribute completely, the maximum zoom level is the same, which appears to be less than that on the maps.google.com interface: On maps.google.com, I seem to be able to zoom 3 more levels via mouse wheel or 1 via clicking the '+' in the toolbox.

It's the default value:

If you want to see a difference you should increase it.

Thank you Anton. I'll do that.

Hello,

I changed the value to 25 in the source style.js and recompiled traccar-server.
Server page and account page have been set to 25. That should be enough to have a zoom level higher than 18, correct?

Only adjusting the style.js later in the directory has no effect, right?

I only needed to change mapMaxZoom in the minified js, traccar/web/app.min.js.

Great, I modified the mapmaxzoom in app.min.js as you suggested, works perfectly. Thank you very much

Hi, i've changed the mentioned mapMaxZoom in traccar/web/app.min.js to 25 but have no change in the max avail zoom. The zoom-level is the same as before (18 i assume). Logout/In & Server-Restart done. What's needed to have the zoom > 18? Any hint?

You may need to clear the browser cache.

Thank you!
I try to find this in my traccar server (OCI) and this route don't exist or I can't see it. Im go to /opt/traccar , do ls and just see... conf, data, jre, legacy, lib, logs, modern, schema, and templates. Don't show me web.
Where is it web/app.min.js. in the last traccar 5.3?

Old web app is under the legacy folder.
