Has anybody found a way of setting how zoomed in a Scatter Map is which sticks when you leave the dashboard or output the dashboard as a PDF/image?
In a lot of instances when the map feature would be of benefit to us we need to be fairly closely zoomed in on South Wales. Whenever I try to output this dashboard though, or leave the dashboard and return to it, I end up with a much wider view of Western Europe with only a few small dots crowded together too close to really gain any insight from. If I output just that widget as an Image the zoom setting seems to stick, but when I try to output the whole dashboard it doesn't. I've tried adding Country and the various Geo Areas into the widget filters but there still doesn't seem to be any way of affecting the zoom other than manually within the platform.
Here's the view I need...
Here's as close as I can get when I'm outputting the document...
Thanks in advance for your help. Interested to know whether organisations in the US/elsewhere have similar issues with the zoom, or whether this is just a regional UK problem?
Cheers,

Lawrence,
Tom Brown pointed me to this a while back which is great for setting zoom levels: https://support.sisense.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/221227568-Center-Zoom-Scatter-Map
That works for the primary zoom level within the application so that you do not have to re-zoom every time you close and then reload the application. However, it can get a little finnicky when you are trying to output to a PDF. But at least that should get you a start.

Do be careful with this Zoom Power for Maps. If the script ends up in a widget that is not a map. Everything looks OK until you try to have the dashboard sent to you every night. Then you get a message about the system not being able to find the elastic cube which you know is actually there. (This was at least a problem in V15.0.4. I do not know if anything has been done to eliminate this problem in later versions.)
