Desktop Preflight Zoom

Whitt Hansen

A real pain point I'm experiencing is when I create a mission on desktop in Chrome, the map won't zoom in all the way to the location/address. When I enter the address into the search bar and click on the address, it'll take me to the area and I have to rely on the plus and minus buttons on the bottom right to zoom in on the location. This is the case for Mapbox and HERE maps but for Google maps the zoom in and out buttons are missing. I have to switch to Mapbox or HERE so I can zoom in. If i middle mouse scroll, it will zoom into the cursor location. The only way I can get to the address is to type in the address and hit the plus button to zoom into the location.

 

The fix: The map should zoom in all the way to the location (in my case, houses), not just the surrounding area. I have to rely on other map apps to figure out where the address is. Here is a screen record I made. I have to go through this process everytime I do a preflight mission.

Another  suggestion that would be nice if there would be an option to show property lines similar to Land iD. I realize this is a big request but one can dream.
