Description<br />
The name of the named tile to generate the tile<br />
from. You must specify the location inside the repository<br />
where the named tile is located.<br />
Determines the zoom level of the tile to be returned.<br />
The level shows how close the map image is to the<br />
Earth. Level 1 is the furthest away and is composed<br />
of one tile that the entire map will be drawn into.<br />
Level 2 is composed of 4 tiles, 2 across and 2<br />
down. Each tile is a quarter of the entire map. Level<br />
3 is composed of 16 tiles, 4 across and 4 down,<br />
and so on. The higher the level specified, the closer<br />
to the Earth the map image appears. For example,<br />
levels 1 to 3 usually show global or hemispheric<br />
detail, levels 4 to 15 show county/state/province<br />
level of detail and some larger cities, levels greater<br />
that 15 show street level views.<br />
What the levels actually display is dependant on<br />
the named map published to the <strong>Map</strong> Tile <strong>Service</strong>.<br />
For example, if you published a map of New York,<br />
Toronto, or London then level 1 would be a street<br />
level map of Toronto while high levels would be<br />
more detailed.<br />
This parameter must be set to a value greater than<br />
or equal to the minLevel value and less than or<br />
equal to the maxLevel value for the named map.<br />
