Zoom level configuration

For the feature requests wishlist please.

Custom preset zoom level for overview mode

I run with speed based zoom and when going to map overview (big buttons on nav screen) it would be useful to have the view automatically zoom out rather than remain at the current zoom, which typically is at low speed/stationary level when I access the map overview. Tapping the +/- buttons on CarPlay screen is very hit and miss (usually miss), I don’t have issues with other functions within or outside of Scenic so I wonder if the +/- buttons are a little small. Would it be possible to set a custom zoom level for opening map overview?

Zoom levels configurable depending on device

I use Scenic mostly with a 7” Carpuride CarPlay unit which is mounted high up in my riding eyeline and have speed based zoom configured for this setup. It works extremely well because I don’t need to change eye focus as much as just using my (smaller) phone screen lower on the handlebars. But I also use Scenic with my phone handlebar mounted on another motorcycle which puts the screen out of my eyeline and my ‘mature’ eyes can’t refocus between road and screen as quickly as they used to and the smaller display is harder to pick up key information from compared to the bigger CarPlay screen. To compensate I’d really like the map to be slightly more zoomed in when using my phone but it’s impractical to change all the speed based zoom settings when switching between motorcycles. Would it be possible for Scenic to recognise the display device and adjust the zoom levels to user defined settings?

Thank You.

There is already a setting for this... not so much to set zoom level, but it is configurable. Settings > Navigation & Tracking > Overview button zoom.. (last row).
That's a tough one. Scenic already zooms different on iPhone compared to CarPlay, but since there are so many different screen sizes, and so many personal preferences, it's just impossible to pre-program them all. What I could do is add the option to add 2 or 3 presets for speed-based-zoom so that it's easier to switch. I'll add that to the list, but honestly... this is not a priority... will take quite a while before I get around to that.

If you're enjoying Scenic and are happy with the support, please leave a nice rating in the App Store. It would mean a lot to me ❤️

On the face of it this setting doesn’t help when just tracking (not navigating a preset route), which is where I find the overview look to be of most use to scout out the map for where to go.
If it could be tied in to the shortcut 1&2 ‘big button’ menu that could work nicely otherwise as far as I can see the option to change wouldn’t be available once any sort of navigation or tracking has started.

Thanks Guido. And I fully appreciate the features request list is long.
