      Would it be possible to enable fractional zoom on mouse wheel?

      When you try fractional zoom, it's hard to get back because so much smoother.

      That would make windy even nicer to use.

      Thanks for the great work!

        Hi @vicb, we are not planning anything like this in upcoming months. I am sorry about that.

          @Suty Can I ask why? It should be a very simple change

          See https://leafletjs.com/examples/zoom-levels/#fractional-zoom

          It's mostly about passing a config option to leaflet and it really makes a difference.

          From my testing, it looks like the mouse wheel might not use fractional zoom by default with Leaflet but that should be easy enough to implement.

            @vicb I discussed this with colleagues and I provided you with wrong info. It is planned to slowly implement this into Windy, however, I am not able to specify this more.

              @Suty I have been discussing with Marek and Ivo already. Let me know if there is someone in the frontend team I should discuss with (now that Marek is backend).

                Hello @vicb As you've mentioned, the change in config is indeed very easy. However, the user experience of fractional zooming in Leaflet is not consistent across devices (even in the example above).

                We'll make it work (as a side effect of other improvements) but it can't be enabled just like that without other adjustments.

                  @jorgef Thank you so much for that!

                  It's really hard on the eyes to get back to non-fractional zooming.

                    Related to this, could I ask if an improvement to zoom in the app is also possible? Fractional zoom would be great here too, but there's another aspect:

                    Especially with bigger screens, it would be great to zoom in and out using only one thumb: double tap/hold/drag. Since there are also no plus/minus buttons, at the moment one always needs a second hand to be able to pinch to zoom out - e.g. in the radar map. Thanks!

                      @seabee-0 Yes, these two issues will be addressed together.

                          🌩👌👀 Android: When You spread the fingers, the whole section enlarges, including font. When You release the screen it snaps to the next or last zoom-step with usual font size. Maybe code could be written to freeze the loupe (delay the snapping step) until tap or double tap?
                          Maybe a button was convenient to activate this function.
