bing-mapsmapinfoscale
I am using MapInfo to display some Bing aerial photos. It seems as if it is using the wrong scale of imagery – they look blurred, as if the image has been enlarged.
Is there a way to force it to use a larger scale of imagery and therefore get more detail?
Right click on the XYZ connection > Edit Connection..., then set Min./Max. Zoom levels.
ArcGIS maps have 24 zooms levels (0 to 23) according to the site where you also find this interactive tool to translate zoom levels to map scales: zoom level 17 corresponds to a scale of ca. 1:4514, zoom level 18 to 1:2257.
So you should set zoom levels from 0 (min.) to 17 (max.), see:

I have the same with bing, and also with openstreetmap in MI10.5
it seems to depend on the width (not height) of the mapwindow
at certain discrete width's (around 384 pts or 820 pts for example) the image suddenly resets to a very sharp and very OK display,
while resizing the window, you see it degrade, until it suddenly jumps to ok again
wonder if it depends on screen resolution settings, and why these strange numbers (not multiples of 256 tile size) and not dependent on height (any height is ok)
