Does anyone else get the same thing? Is this a known issue?

It seems that once a location has been saved, there is no way to alter the zoom level - even if you search for a new location.

Anyone have any ideas?

Update: if you search for a new location, then zoom to the desired level, move the pin away from and back to the desired location ... the zoom saves!? It is a work-around for now, but fixing it to work as expected would be much nicer!!

Hi Gordon,

I'm not sure what the fix would be. If you have any ideas, then please do feel free to send over a patch for it.

(Hope you don't see it as fobbing you off... I haven't used the data-type for a long time, and fixing it would be pretty low on my to-do list, sorry.)

Thanks,

Hi Lee,

the workaround mentioned above seems to indivcate that the zoom level, once set, is never updated unless the location is moved. maybe the fix would be to always save the zoom level when the data is saved.

I'll download the code and see if I can fix it ... (although I'm not sure I know how to download the code!?!)

Issue fixed (hopefully) and changes submitted (hopefully!).

is working on a reply...
