| A **zoom level** in the GIS Editor is a concept that ties a particular scale to a preset level of map magnification. By default there are 25 separate zoom levels, and each time you zoom your map in or out, the map will snap to the closest one of these 25 zoom levels. The GIS Editor uses this concept of snappable zoom levels rather than a freeform system of zooming so that it is compatible with tiled web map services (otherwise known as base maps) like OpenStreetMap or Bing Maps, which have pregenerated map tiles at a series of predefined scales. | A **zoom level** in the GIS Editor is a concept that ties a particular scale to a preset level of map magnification.
