Hey Folks,

Is there a way to reduce the map zoom level while you're driving?

This is what I did:

1) I tap the screen to display the map controls.

2) Now I can see the + and - buttons,  and there is a red crosshair on the screen where I tapped. It thinks I'm trying to add a waypoint.

3) I press the "-" button several times to zoom out.

4) I press the back button to get rid of the controls, and to take me about of the "add waypoint" mode.

5) Now the zoom is back where it was before I started.

How can I just zoom out?

I haven't tried it after the update, but before the update u are seeing the bug the rest of us had seen. I'll check again

This is something I asked about months ago as well, I also have the 8000NEX. I just installed the latest 1.08 update and it seems like the fix for this didn't make it. The map viewpoint still only has 3 levels, close, normal & far and attempting to zoom only wants to add a destination. Going back to the map display resets it to the viewpoint level.

This really bites, I was hoping for a fix, it seems so simple.

can't you simply pinch ?

Nope, pinch to zoom only wants to add a destination and when you don't and go back to the map you go back to the viewpoint level of which there are only 3 to choose from.

You do get to zoom if you have setup a route for navigation but without a route it's viewpoint levels only.

Seems so simple I hope they decide to fix this someday...

Unfortunately this is not a bug it is a feature of the nav. If you look in the user's manual it talks about auto zoom and there is no way to turn it off.
