Well you can't zoom out :P and I highly doubt Gonstruct will have that ability either. You gotta remember it has to render all those tiles. In order to have gmap capability they'll have to add the surrounding levels to the buffer, and do some fancy clipping in order to keep speed's reasonable. Hopefully this does get eventually added as it's something that holds Gonstruct back somewhat as the gmap functionality is EXTREMELY useful when you're working on overworlds.

GraalEditor has it easy as it simply uses the game engine to handle all of that complicated stuff like the adjacent level buffering and clipping. If you haven't ever noticed, the blue + is actually your player you're moving around.
