Google Maps Tile Scales
October 29, 2011
I found this buried deep in an appendix of the Mapnik XML Schema Reference, and I thought it so useful I am reposting it here:
| Zoom level | Scale denominator |
| 0 | 559,082,264 |
| 1 | 279,541,132 |
| 2 | 139,770,566 |
| 3 | 69,885,283 |
| 4 | 34,942,642 |
| 5 | 17,471,321 |
| 6 | 8,735,660 |
| 7 | 4,367,830 |
| 8 | 2,183,915 |
| 9 | 1,091,958 |
| 10 | 545,979 |
| 11 | 272,989 |
| 12 | 136,495 |
| 13 | 68,247 |
| 14 | 34,124 |
| 15 | 17,062 |
| 16 | 8,531 |
| 17 | 4,265 |
| 18 | 2,133 |
| 19 | 1,066 |
| 20 | 533 |
These are used not only by Google Maps, but also by Bing Maps, OSM, CloudMade and many others, and in fact just about any Google Mercator tile source.
