I see that you tried to fix it.

Your fix isn't right either, although it's certainly a lot better than
the default OSM behavior, but it zooms purely around the center, not
around the mouse.

But I don't see how to set a particular x/y coordinate to have a
particular lat/long value. I can see how to *read* the lat-long value
of an x/y coordinate:

   osm_gps_map_convert_screen_to_geographic(map, event->x, event->y, pt);

but there's no way I can see to center a lat/long value at a
particular x/y value (you can only center at the center).

I'm sure you could do it with some kind of "see how far off you are
and try to correct" loop that constantly recenters and reads the
lat-long value, but I have no idea how to write that.
