      I love your app, I love how well featured it is for free users, and have often gone pro when I need the extras
      I would love if you include what I sense is now a standard navigation gesture and is in my muscle memory: . Double tap - hold - drag up or down to zoom in or out
      It works in google maps, Strava nav, Swiss topo, most other mapping apps. It means I can do everything with just my thumb. It’s a game changer for single handed navigation
      Thanks !

        This has actually already been implemented on the Satellite layer, but not the others so far. It was also one of my biggest requests for years, and I'm super happy it got heard! :)

        I might add that it is not quite perfect yet, because the first tap sometimes falls on a place name - in that case it is not registered as a double-tap, but the map centres on that place name. For it to work really well, one has to try not to hit a place name in the map.

          hey @gambirch

          @seabee-0 is absolutely right here. The satellite layer uses a different technology that enables this. That's also why there are no clear "zoom levels"; zoom feels more "smooth". You can expect this to be used in other layers as well. Not soon, though.

            Hi @gambirch

            The double tap + hold zoom gesture should work on all layers in the new beta version, feel free to try it out! Though the beta is currently only out for web browsers, not mobile apps.
