There's an "Install IIAB Maps" page (http://box/osm-vector-maps/installer/) separate from the Admin Console, to help you download Map Pack(s) for your favorite continents, and Hi-Res Satellite Photo Regions serving local communities. 1. Hi-Res Satellite Photo Regions are 'squares' with 4 more levels of satellite photo zoom (i.e. zoom levels 10-13) giving you 16X the resolution (i.e. 19 x 19 m pixels) and 256X more photographic information density. 2. As compared to Lo-Res Satellite Photos i.e. zooms level 0-9 (305 x 305 m pixels) everywhere else on the planet.
