 === Crop maps by coverage ===
+With this option, the app takes the map coverage definition into account and stops loading map tiles outside of it. Useful for maps with a non-square shape.

+=== Automatic zoom lock ===
+This option allows zooming the map in even when no more zoom levels are available - it resizes the lowest map zoom.
+=== Remember last zoom lock ===
+The app remembers the zoom level that you locked last time. When you use the [[..:..:user_guide:maps_mainscr_ctrl#magnifier_zoom_lock_screen_lock|zoom lock]] next time, the map switches to the locked zoom level you locked before.
