Hi!

When zooming in the map to a region, after viewing a detail item and going back to map, the zoom level is lost. The map starts zoomed out again.

This is very annoying when checking out several items in on region.

Hi @milez. This is a usability feature I added a while back. I can’t reproduce the issue on my end: if I zoom in and view an entry on the list, then go back to the map, my zoom and pan state is preserved. If it’s not working for you, then it’s possible that you’re hitting a bug.

Can you send me a link to your app, and take a video of the issue happening? Additionally, is your map data frequently changing? We might not preserve your zoom in state when the underlying data changes, but that’s definitely something we can and should fix.

Hi!

Now it works again for me (iOS and Chrome), but other users of my app reported this as-well.

There are formulas inside the sheet calculating dates and booleans - maybe this is the kind of changing data?

It is a private app, so I cannot share the link. Maybe I could pm you if this occurs again - I guess you have some admin access?
