    How can I set the zoom level on the Geolocation Widget?


    I can set the lat/long, but its too zoomed out.  Would like to zoom it in a few levels.

    Geolocation widget can be zoomed in and out using mouse scroll or by clicking the zoom buttons.

    Example:

    Alternatively, you can use Show Map Location widget if you want to display a fixed map with Zoom Level.

    The show map location widget doesn't fit our use case as it does not allow for user selectable map locations, only static ones.  We are using multiple instances of the Geolocation widget to solicit input on a survey.  It's very cumbersome and user unfriendly to have to manually zoom in various levels.

     

    This seems like an easy fix to the widget that has been asked for by various users for multiple years.  Pls make this change.  Thx.
