Fenix 7 series - MapView setMapVisibleArea doesn't zoom to the same map view like Fenix 6 series

Fenix 7 series - MapView setMapVisibleArea doesn't zoom to the same map view like Fenix 6 series.

Although the devices do have the same display resolution (e.g. F6X and F7X with 280x280 pixel) the setMapVisibleArea do behave different on each device series.

On F7 series devices the location/position coordinates have to be scaled nearly 100 time more to achieve the same zoom level on the map.

Please provide a common interface to avoid a device class filter in the app code.

Thanks for upcoming fix.

    This is also an issue on Epix. I think the problem is that the VM on the Epix is not interpreting the bounding box properly. For a bounding box that is about 1/2 degree of lat/lon (eg. 50.25,114.5 to 49.75,114.0) the map starts at the highest level 800km (500mile) zoom level. With the same code on a Fenix 6, the zoom level starts at the correct value of 28km (18mile). In order to get the map on the Epix to show at that same level, I have to create a bounding box ~100 times smaller (eg. 50.0015, 114.0030 to 49.0085, 114.0).

    On the simulator, the Epix works properly so this is definitely an issue with the VM on the Epix and Fenix 7 devices.

    Hi. Do you have any pictures of what you are seeing with those devices? Also, do you have any code snippets or a personal app you are using?
