<![CDATA[how do I suppress switching to detail background map on zoom-in?]]>I neither need nor want the detail map on zooming in as it clutters the view

how can I get rid of the detail background map?

suggestions:

  • in settings->Change background map provide option: "coarse map" or somesuch to avoid the detail-switching
  • or right hand side menue - "no map detail on zoom in"/"retain coarse map"

We can consider these changes, but I can't promise anything right now.

It's just to turn off automatic switching from the large-scale smooth colored style to the small-scale jagged terrain map. Here are screenshots that illustrate the difference.
