This, and while no small device can easily replace a large physical map, but map developers aren't helping here either. I find more often then not, in map apps the 2nd you zoom out even a little, you start losing half the details. Even on a larger iPad. Especially the topo map apps, which also tend to forget most devices are HighDPI, so the topo image is also blurry.

I just wish I could set the map level to it's best, then zoom out as far as I want without jumping to a worse level map.
