Now, I see that zoom level slider bar. Of course I had not paid attention to it, or tried to use it before hand.
As long as I have room, I will most likely keep it at the highest zoom.
I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my wifi speed, the age of my devices, or something with Gaia servers, but it seems to take a LONG time to download 100k tiles. Even a gig or two movie seems lightening fast comparatively.
I see the same thing. Downloads take FOREVER, with my VPN reporting traffic in the 2-5 kbps range with no other network usage to clog the pipes. I also have to keep the app on screen, and the screen on, otherwise the downloads seem to freeze or even corrupt. Switching between modes (download selection vs active map vs managing settings etc.) can mean ~30s of latency on my nvidia shield that manages perfectly well within a single mode - there have been crashes during that latency period as well that result in duplicated downloads, missing downloads, resurrection of previously deleted downloads, etc.
The app seems like the best one out there for features, but it isn't setting a very high bar for reliability.
