I'm shocked the auto zoom function isn't mentioned. I am zoomed into the area where I am. I search for something. The app zooms out to show me results from places literal hours away.. Sometimes on different continents. I'm annoyed, I zoom back in to where I was, click on a result, and it zooms out AGAIN. WTF?
