 * Hello Camille,
 * first of all, I would like to thank you for the brilliant job you have done with
   this plugin.
 * By the way I noticed that, especially if one uses “this_post=true” in the shortcode,
   the resulting map is fully zoomed in by default. I would like to display the 
   entire region instead, to give the user a better idea of the position on a larger
   scale.
 * I achieved the desired visual result by setting “minzoom” and “maxzoom” but this
   is limiting the user’s zooming capabilities.
 * Is it somehow possible to set the zoom factor of the displayed map, e.g. “zoomfactor
   =8”?
 * Also it would be nice to have the possibility to set the center point of map 
   regardless of the tag position, e.g. “centerlatitude=39,5960” and “centerlongitude
   =16,44528”.
 * Thanks again!
    Claudio

 * Dear Claudio,
 * Thank you for using my plugin and for the feedback.
 * Default zoom will definitely be in the next update, thank you for pointing the
   fact that minzoom is not a viable solution 🙂
 * As for setting the center of the map, it will come after because I have to think
   of a user friendly way to do it (like selecting the point directly from a map
   widget), writing the lat and long is very disturbing for users without knowledge.
   
   Also, I think it’s not a priority as it is not the main purpose of the plugin(
   to display several posts on a map).
 * However, I’m still writing this in my todo-list because I can understand the 
   need to display a precise region, and the map widget to select a zoom and center
   at the same time could be great for User Experience.
 * As I said in another support thread, I’m currently traveling and have no time
   to update right now. Expect an update in a month or two 😉
 * Thank you again for the feedback,
    Have a nice day, Camille

 * Dear [@claudiosinopoli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claudiosinopoli/),
 * Update 1.6.0 is online, I added a shortcode option “Initialization max zoom”.
   User can still zoom afterward 😉
 * I’m marking this ticket as resolved, the other feature are still in my to-do 
   list 😉
 * Have a nice day,
    Camille
