No, the maps.google.com implementation is correct - it doesn't "keep traveling" like the osmgpsmap implementation does.
But playing with it some more, what I did is indeed the behavior that I think makes more sense for us as we center the map around the dive site. So zooming in and out around the dive site is much more natural.

I am actually thinking about going down to just one map and adding all dive locations the first time it's opened. Simply open it in "whole world" view if opened from the top menu and zoomed/centered around a dive site when opened from the context menu.
Also, reading the docs when trying to figure out how to change the scroll behavior I realized that it would be really easy to add "pick dive site on map" capability to this… any volunteers to implement that?
