Can you add an option for a custom zoom setting when opening coordinates in a map. I usually open an image's coordinates in Open Street Map but it always opens zoomed out at 2 km view, I assume this is the default setting if you don't set a zoom level. I then have to click + several times to get to the zoom level I actually want, 30m. This soon gets very tiresome. I see from Open Street Map's documentation that you can include a custom zoom level in the URL query string.

Hi @Toro-88 . Thanks for suggestion. I don't think I will add specific zoom-level configuration options for each map-provider, but I might make it possible to edit the full url or add custom urls for map-providers.
I'll think about it...

Hi @StigNygaard it would improve usability, it does get pretty annoying when you have to zoom in to your preferred zoom level for the 10th time. Open Street Map for instance doesn't remember the zoom level when you open another image in a new tab and there doesn't seem to be a way to set a preferred zoom level for a session through cookies or by logging in. The program IrfanView opens a map at a more reasonable (for my purposes) 200m zoom level (Image > Information > Exif info > More options > Show GPS coordinate in OpenStreetMap) but there doesn't seem to be a way for the user to set a preferred zoom level in IrfanView's options either.
