Hello, one question…can we have maybe some zoom Buttons with predefined Zoom Values? In the right upper corner we have the Zoom Buttons ( +/- ): ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/2X/f/ff3001c91bd59afcedfce6b3347e64cbfa177da9.png) Maybe there would be a good place for 2 or 3 additional buttons, maybe with configurable zoom levels by the user … 100% 50% 20% maybe soething like that. Thanks Matthias ---

Hi Matthias, Thank you for the suggestion which will be considered by the development team when they return from vacation. Note you can zoom in and out with mouse roller wheel. Also the restore button, returns your map and zoom to show full flight plan: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/2X/7/77343cc46775a005a4bc28f970f189784324f481.png) Compliments of the Season.

Hello, yes i know this Button, but my suggestion was more about Zooming in. Also please know that i am using a Tablet in my Homecockpit, so i have no middle Mouse Scrollrad 🙂 The 2-Finger Zooming is sometimes a bit difficult if you want to zoom in fast to see the Taxiaways and then again zoom out to see where you are 🙂 Thanks a lot and a happy new Year @All Matthias ---

Hi again, after some more tests on the Tablet, have you tried to use the 2 Finger Zoom to zoom in from the Overview zoom ( restore button ) down to the Airport until you see the Taxiways ? Since a Tablet has no mouse roller wheel 🙂 you have to use the 2 Finger Zoom, which is not comfortable. Matthias ---

Hiya I’ll get Navigraph anyway. But what I’m really looking for is an option to open the charts in full width by default. Would that be hard to implement? ---

An alternative way to zoom down to the airport quickly is to long press the airport ”pill” in the top and select Airport Diagram from the dropdown. Stephen ---

What do you mean by ”full width by default”? Stephen ---

Open the chart so it fills the whole area of the chart display in width. Or “fit to width” I believe it’s called. So you dont see the full pdf but you can actually read it and only need to scroll up and down. I mean obviously, I’m not talking about everyone. But so that people like me can actually read it 😉 ---

Hello, i just want to bring up this again. I dont speak about the Charts i speak about the World chart display. It would be really nice to have a Button to Zoom in to Maximum to see the Taxiways: From here: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/2X/9/944db45d05ade977b6a3d4124b340c329e42d81c.jpeg) To here: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/2X/f/f533e395ca3bfc44660ed9b45082085c2ea11e43.png) Matthias ---

Hi, If you have a flight loaded, right click/long tap the airport ”pill” and select Airport Diagram. It will zoom you down to the airport detail Regards, Stephen ---

> [@Request 2 Buttons](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/request-2-buttons/10280/2): > > Mattias, If you long tap the origin or destination buttons in the top bar, there is a dropdown menu. Tap the option “Airport diagram”. It will zoom you straight into the taxiways: We already have an update in the works where this will be a one-click operation again. Regards, Stephen 😉 ---

Hi again, that works…thanks. But what if i dont have a Flightplan loaded, that means no button in the top-bar ? Matthias ---

In this scenario we don’t have a button to quickly jump to to ground level. I guess it could be done somehow but then it would only make sense if moving maps was enabled and the aircraft was on the ground. We do have some plans in this regard so we’ll keep this suggestion in mind. Regards, Stephen ---

I am even using Navigraph on a windows tablet in homecockpit. It would be great to have a setting option “Zoom on ground level” which causes - switching from charts to map view - zoom 100% - activate “Center view” - whenever the AC is moving on the ground \> 5 kts longer 5 sec. meaning – it does not switch to that mode while flight planning – it does not switch to that mode while “in flight” – it does switch to that mode if the AC moves on ground for taxi – it does switch to that mode if the AC moves on ground after landing This may even helps you @mroschk ? ---
