Description
Target Use Case
Allow mobile users to zoom in/out on the map by double tapping + dragging up/down.
Just wondering if there's any chance this feature could be implemented in the future? If it already exists and I missed it in the documentation, let me know :)
Proposal
This feature exists in Google Maps and Apple Maps, ex:
https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6396990?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid (under "Zoom in the map")
