2011-03-14 06:37:44 - Zoom Levels
I have been investigating the zoom behaviour in the SOL client, and have a few questions.
1) How is the starting zoom level determinied when a race is first loaded in the browser?
2) Is there a static amount that hitting + or - changes zoom by? Or does this change each race also?

Chart detail is selected based on longitudal extent of the map. And yes, this means that the selection is not completely consistent throughout the world, however it seems to work decently.

Longitudal extent of the currently viewable chart area is probably a better description.

Could you possibly be more specific? Id like to reproduce the zoom settings, so for example another app can know the current scale in the client? (obv need to hook clicks to +/-, but thats no prob)

Edit: I think I have an idea how to find this out.

Why do you insist I do things the hard way Kalle? ;-)

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
