Viewport Auto Zoom: Controllable Zoom Level for "One Geopoint" Case

Note: In the below explanation, I use the word “zoom level” to refer to the label shown on the scale in the bottom-left corner of the map. I know that this language isn’t precise, since the scale has both a width in pixels and a label (i.e., the label alone doesn’t identity a unique zoom level), but hopefully it communicates my intent well enough.

When using the viewport auto zoom feature of the Map widget, I have observed the following behavior.

When the initial zoom level is greater than 1 kilometer, and the data is filtered down to contain exactly one unique geopoint, the auto zoom defaults to 1 kilometer.

This is a sensible default for many use cases, but for other use cases, a closer zoom level (e.g. 100 meters) would be preferable when displaying one point.

It would be great if there were a way to customize this behavior to match the needs of the use case!

Hello, thank you for the feedback.

We have heard similar requests where users have wanted the auto zoom to stay at a more distant zoom level, so it is helpful to know that some cases may require the opposite. We are planning to make some updates to our auto zoom configuration so we will take this point into consideration as well.
