GeoODK Collect Limiting Zoom to Neighborhood Level

I am running version 2.0.4 of GeoODK Collect on my phone (Google Pixel). I went through the process of creating “.mbtiles” files using tile mill and have transferred them to my phone. In tilemill I have set the maximum zoom to 21 or 22 for various .mbtiles I have created. However, when I load the .mbtiles on my phone and try to access them with GeoODK I cannot zoom in all the way. My zoom level stops at what I believe is 18 or 19.

I am using satellite imagery, so this is insufficient for my mapping needs. I am hoping someone has encountered this issue before and can provide some guidance how to set up GeoODK such that I can zoom in all the way using my offline maps.

I took a .mbtiles file off another android tablet that a colleague is using. On his tablet it allows for zoom up to level 21 (which is the max), but on my phone I cannot reach the same level of zoom that the tablet can achieve. Again it stops at a neighborhood level. This makes me believe it is not an error with the .mbtiles files but instead some other setting. Or perhaps, I think the tablet has installed a much older version of GeoODK collect that may not have been updated in some time.

I have attached a photo showing the maximum zoom level I can achieve on my phone. Please let me know if you have any idea how to resolve this issue. Thanks!

Sadly there is no easy solution. You either need to change the code stored in GitHub or you will need to pay the company that owns GeoODK to make you a custom version. They removed this functionality to force customers to pay them for custom versions.

Hi, if you need to map heavily on the field I would recommend using either Osmand or Qfields.
Best,
Carlos
