Hi Ya- Is there a way to get program on computer to show back country roads without zooming all the way to 300 metres. If u are following a road on map for 5 miles to see where it goes then you have to do a lot of scrolling just to find it is not the road you want.

Hello ToR,

All mapping software allows you to zoom in and out so you can follow trails better. However data will be subtracted from a vector map as you zoom in and out to keep the map readable. If they didn't do that all features would blend together creating a un-readable map. Depending on the software you are using you may be able to edit zoom levels.

Cheers
