[ gpsdrive ] Base Maps and zooming

[Chris H]

Greets:

Was wondering how to set gpsdrive so that the basemap that gpsdrive defaults 
too upon opening is the top_Americas.jpg file. Its interesting that this is 
located in /usr/share/gpsdrive/maps and not ~./gpsdrive/maps Is there a 
reason for separating the map file folders? 

Looking at the gpsdriverc file the only way I see to do it is to set the 
lastlat and latlong to somewhere in the America's? the last entry is 
display_map_no_dir = 1 what exactly does this mean? 

Zooming. 
I have loaded a number of maps for the eastern seaboard of the United States 
in the required format and updated the map_koord.txt file. What I would like 
to accomplish is to have gpsdrive default to the top_Americas.jpg file and 
then zoom in on the sections for which I have prepared NOAA tiles using the 
panel zoom buttons and mouse pointer. 

In short, I just want a high level view continental North America and then 
zone in on the specific areas for which NOAA maps have been prepared for. 

Was wondering what the proper way to accomplish this would be hence the 
initial question above.

Many thanks.
