Definition

The Level of Detail is a measure for the details of a map which usually relates to a certain zoom level. It is a whole numbered power of 2, where the whole world map is fractioned into 2^LOD x 2^LOD tiles.

Use

Set the LOD value as required or supported by the map provider.

Dependencies

Example

On LOD 0 the whole world is shown on a single map tile. On LOD 3 the whole world is divided into 8x8=64 tile.

With a fixed pixel size of a tile, usually 256x256, on LOD 3 the world map has a pixel dimension of 2048x2048 pixels. On LOD 18 it would be 67108864x67108864 pixels.
