Can anyone tell me the correlation between the Google "Zoom level" and metres per pixel?
In particular, what is the m/p value for zoom level 17?
Thanks in anticipation,
Zoom level v m/p
Re: Zoom level v m/p
Greets George,
Resample generates Zoom=17 from Google (and others) at .59m resolution. In a truly non-scientific manner I made a BGL from one tile from Google at Zoom=17, which is a 256x256 image. I then took the measure tool in SBX and went from TLC to TRC and it showed 119.14m. While the measurement from corner to corner might be off a bit, it still falls around .5m. Thus getting a BGL from Resample at .59m

You can't get an accurate meters per pixel, as the horizontal resolution will change with latitude. Closer to the poles, the narrower the tiles get.

Thanks Dick.
I only wished to determine whether it was nearer to 1.2m/p or 0.6m/p
