A androidvh Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 25, 2026 #1 Hi, my name is Volker, and we’ve developed an app using B4a. This app collects data from GPS receivers. We plot the GPS readings (point, line, polygons) on Google Maps. To do this, we use Google Maps and Google Maps Extra. Unfortunately, the zoom level is limited. We’re therefore looking for a way to create an overzoom. In our search, we came across the following option: "overzoom" tileoverlay google maps I have an issue where I'm currently trying to build a custom solution for. I'm struggling, maybe I'll be able to get it to work, but maybe there is already another solution for this. My customer h... stackoverflow.com Now for my question. Is it possible to integrate an overzoom into the Google Maps library? How Can we do that? I look forward to hearing from you and would like to thank you in advance for your efforts.
