[ gpsdrive ] Selecting map scale

[John Blackwood]

That's what I thought, so I downloaded the area map in every zoom level
available using gpsfetchmap.pl -w "waypoint" -a 10 -u kilometers -sc
"3950-47400000". Still it won't zoom out unless I move the map to an area
where I don't have a 1:2950 scale map.
