Default map zoom level, how to reset back from 15 meter to 170 meter?

Forerunner 965, at f/w version v21.22.

Since about a 1 or 2 weeks or so, the default map zoom level while running is something like 15 meters (there is a circle at the top indicating that distance, see photo).
It used to be around 170 meters, which made a lot more sense to me.

How can I make the map zoom level go back to the 170 meter?

I don't know if I changed it myself (I sometimes try it different settings, and I don't think I changed anything related to so a thing recently, but not sure), or it is because of a firmware update.
Autozoom is ON (to be sure, I set it to OFF and back to ON in the Settings > Map screen)

    I was able to get it back to 170 m, although I can't pinpoint the exact root cause or required fix (I fiddle around a bit).

    Here's what I did, in case other people with a similar problem would like to try my steps:

    - With running activity enabled (but not started), I went to Settings for running > Map Settings and switched Use system settings to Off

    - In the settings that appeared, I switched Auto Zoom to Off, and I also toggled Lock On Road (not sure if it was On or Off)

    - The problem then seemed to be solved, i.e. showing 170 m zoom level

    - I played around a bit by setting Auto Zoom to On again. But that didn't make any difference, map zoom level remained okay at 170 m.

    - Finally, I switched Use System Settings back to On. Still, all remained OK

    I finally ended up with these system settings for maps: Auto Zoom = On and Lock on Road = On, with my map zoom level being 170m, as I wanted.
