      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"

          @bernardcu Unfortunately, it is not possible to turn the background map off and it is not planned at all.

            @Ondřej-Šutera The request is not to turn off the background map. 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.

              @bernardcu Unfortunately, these changes are not planned right now. We can consider these changes, but I can't promise anything right now.

                @mhaberler I'm with you - when you zoom and the map changes you lose all the information you've been looking at...
