When zooming in on a WMTS layer, the layer disappears at a set large scale. Does QGIS have the ability to show the last scale available when zoomed in further?

I can see it expanded at the new scale before it disappears.

For example, the layer is visible at 1:10000. At 1:9000 it is gone. I'd like to see the layer even if it is pixelated. Am I missing an option somewhere?

  • You could use the XYZ Tiles in the processing toolbox to make your own tile map to the zoom level you require. That is what I did. docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/processing_algs/qgis/… Then add the MBTiles file to your map - it will be big.

  • what does the capabilities document say - there may be a min/max scale setting on the server end

  • Overzoom by stretching the last available resolution would make sense if it is not supported yet.

QGIS does this by default in either direction (zoomed in or zoomed out further than the minimum or maximum scale of the WMTS).

    If you are having issues with e.g. a MapProxy cache, make sure you check if your higher zoom levels actually contain tiles or if it might be blank because of that ;)

  • How would you deal with that? Can you limit the zoom limits that QGIS will request before starting overzooming?
