Hi. Maybe I’m the only person in the world who generally doesn’t like auto-zoom. Therefore, I would rather opt for the possibility of turning off the continuous change of zoom, but with the additional option of specifying the distance remaining from the maneuver, after reaching which the zoom would …

[image] linux-user: It would be better if the zooming is only starting at a distance of maybe ~2km. At that point ~2km (and depending also screen size) the zoom could be anything (e.g. ~14, not min zoom) in order to contain next maneuver on screen.

[image] devemux86: At that point ~2km (and depending also screen size) the zoom could be anything (e.g. ~14, not min zoom) in order to contain next maneuver on screen. That is the current behavior, isn’t it? The proposal of @Ciutnik was, to fix the zoom level to min zoom until the next mane…

[image] linux-user: That is the current behavior, isn’t it? Current behavior tries to contain next maneuver inside screen adjusting continuously the fractional zoom scale. On top the min / max auto zoom options are applied. [image] linux-user: This could result in a sudden zoom in at the…

Thanks for the interesting proposal. I think having a min threshold before starting to zoom in, makes sense. I think, we could set this to 1 or 2 km before the turn. I am not sure if this has to be a user setting, it feels a bit like over-complicating things for users? I guess, once you start to r…

My proposal can be modified to make it much easier to understand, using and implement in the application (as I think): At this time, auto-zoom can only be set to ON or OFF. Why not add a third state like “Auto ON/OFF”? This setting could turn ON the Auto-zoom for example 2 km (preferably if there w…

Currently we (will) have: Auto zoom on / off Should remain simple for quick on / off also in nav actions dialog (tap top-left nav panel). Auto zoom mode: Distance | Speed Min / Max auto zoom level Off route zoom level Could have: Some option for delayed distance auto zoom (discussed here) Min …

[image] devemux86: Current behavior tries to contain next maneuver inside screen adjusting continuously the fractional zoom scale. The current auto zoom algorithm is very sophisticated and does a good job the way it is designed for. But it has one disadvantage as @Ciutnik has described above :…

[image] linux-user: you can’t see further than up to the next maneuver , Design is to see up to next maneuver, which normally covers most users. If need to navigate with steady small zooms, can also disable auto zoom. Or can think for an extra distance option to delay the distance auto zoom…

Zoom level appears in scale bar or above zoom buttons.
Can be selected in “Settings | Map | Map scale”.
