Remove automatic zoom #260

Hi,

I love your page, but ...

The automatic recentering and zooming when clicking on a senseBox int the explore map is rather tedious and without benefit. Users can easily choose their preferred zoom level. Furthermore, when hopping from box to box, unzooming is required every time another box is not in close proximity.

Please remove the auto-zooming and auto-centering, or at least make it optionable.

Thanks, cheers!

Currently, the automatic pan and zoom is used to show the user that he changed the station which is displayed.

If the zoom and pan is removed, other means of showing should be implemented..

In my masters thesis, I solved this using a halo around selected markers (See screenshot) dialogmap_halo
