Currently, when browsing picture with geolocation tags, you can display there position in the right panel map. You can use the "lock" to lock zoom level and position ... It should be possible for user to define what is the default zoom level and to separately lock, either zoom level, either position, or both of them. For example, when browsing photos for a trek, AFAIC, I want to see the whole area of the trek and see where cursor moves as I go to next photo. Currently, cursor is moved to new location and zoom level reseted to a very zoomed view. If I lock the view and not done enough zoom out, cursor will moves out of map and no refresh map as both zoom level and position are locked. Reproducible: Always

The issue still exists in Digikam 8.1. It would be really helpful to be able to configure a lower default zoom level.
