1. A method of dynamically determining a zoom-level to display a mapping application executing on a mobile device, the method comprising:
- determining the zoom-level in accordance with a plurality of predefined parameters;
monitoring the plurality of predefined parameters for detecting a change;
determining respective new zoom-levels that corresponds with the detected change in the plurality of predefined parameters;
resolving conflicts, based at least on an external factor comprising pairing/unpairing the mobile device with a car kit, between the plurality of predefined parameters corresponding with the respective zoom levels; and
changing the zoom-level of the mapping application to a mediated zoom-level.

Abstract
A method is provided for dynamically determining a zoom-level to display to a user of a mapping application executing on a mobile device. The method comprises the following steps. The zoom-level is determined in accordance with at least one predefined parameter. The at least one predefined parameter is monitored for detecting a change. A new zoom-level corresponding with the detected change is determined. Lastly, the zoom-level of the mapping application is changed to the new zoom-level. A mobile device and computer-readable medium configured to implement the method are also provided.
