Current location pin and zoom

Re: Current location marker lost when zooming out
When I press Home the behaviours seems rather strange - yes it seems to put your current location in the centre of the screen, but it zooms right out so you can’t really see much more than which continent or ocean you are in, and there is no pin to mark where you are?? You would think like any other maps, you get a reasonable zoom and pin so you can actually see where you are.
Only when you press and hold the Home button for weather does it zoom in and show a pin for the actual location. And….when you go into the menu and select find my location it works as expected - with the a better zoom (although still zoomed out too far to be useful) and the blue gps pin.
Is this expected behaviour?
Also, does a home button make sense? It would be better with a Google maps style locator button not a Home button which is very confusing.
Seems odd to have these two different current location functions from the Home button and find my position int he menu. Not least that find my position is the standard in any map related app and should be readily available at all times.
Interestingly the previous post related to this said, the opposite is happening for them!
Hi, when I press the home button to get my current location it zooms in to the area. But often I’d like to see a larger area, so I zoom out, but then the location marker of where I’m at disappears. Is this the intended behavior? Or is there a workaround for this?
Just a little note for forum admin, the upload image function can’t handle the size of a standard iOS screenshot, so in 2024 that is kinda of useless!
