Make the center and zoom settings of the geolocate function configurable (Studio Mobile)

Hello everyone,

I would like to propose making the center and zoom settings of the geolocation feature configurable in Studio Mobile.

We have noticed that the behavior of the standard geolocation function depends on the zoom level and we cannot configure it. At a high zoom level (street or district) it only centers the map. However, at a low zoom level (city or province) it centers and zooms to a default scale level. It is unclear where the boundary lies between a low and high zoom level. The same applies to the default zoom scale level. Both options are not configurable.

It is our desire to make this behavior configurable because we want to have control over whether the map zooms (and to what level) when a user clicks on the geolocation button. In our project, this poses problems because our client uses a Studio Mobile application from within a helicopter. The desired zoom level is unsuitable due to the altitude at which the user is flying. Currently, the user has to manually zoom out using the zoom buttons, which is not user-friendly and inconvenient in an unstable vehicle.

While the current functionality of the geolocate button may suffice for some customers, it falls short in situations as described above. Therefore, we sincerely hope that VertiGIS considers to make this feature configurable, enabling us to provide the best user experience possible.

Kind regards,
Rick Klöpping
