This is the problem. I did not use the [+] and [-] buttons to zoom in or 
out. I used my fingers to pinch or expand the screen for zooming. Using 
the middle of the screen as a reference is counterintuitive and a less 
useful way than using the coordinates of the selected dive site. It is 
clear which dive site is selected and, if Google Maps is selected, I 
would expect the Google Maps to focus on the selected dive site ??

If this is programmatically a problem then I would disable zooming using 
one's fingers.

Kind regards,

willem
