Auto zoom doesn’t work

I tried to follow a route on my bike this morning, but it is really hard. I have auto zoom enabled but the map isn’t zooming in before a junction. I tried manual zooming in, but if I leave zoom, the map returns to it’s zoomed out state.

This has been reported 10 months ago!!! (https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/running-multisport/f/forerunner-965/331864/zoom-and-maps-is-a-horror/1620190#1620190)

Is garmin working on fixing bugs?

    It started to show up for me since few days. No problem to create a video for me.

    It's truly unbelievable that for a cmpany like Garmin they won't fix this or even believe their users. We're all experiencing the same problem since the moment I got watch. I solely use it for runnning. And then one of the most important functions doesn't work properly. The workaround is to switch autozoom off and set it to a zoom level you feel comfortable with. That's how I use it, but it's sad that a bug can survive for this long. This was my last Garmin watch.

    come on Garmin, what's going on - we download a route, try to follow during an activity and the route stays impossibly small, you can't see it even with auto zoom on.  what's the point in bringing on a Fenix 8 soon when features on previous versions still don't work

    I'm having the same issue. What's the point of the navigation view if it's so small you can't see the route?

    I've tried the following:
    1) Settings - Map - Auto Zoom ON

    Result: doesn't work with both Running and Trail running with system settings

    2) Trail Run - Trail Run settings - Map - Auto Zoom ON (after disabling system settings)

    Result: doesn't work either (FTR: this is with: Settings - Map - Auto Zoom ON)

    3) Only works with Settings - System - Touch - During activity - Run: Map Only (similar for Trail running)

    The map is unusable without zoom or auto zoom because it is way too small.
    @ Garmin : would also settle for a setting "Default map zoom level"
