Just used this on Sunday. Zooming in and out on a large map proved to be very difficult. Had to resort to zooming way out, get bearings, then zoom back in and find where the players are. Since I want the full dungeon map, and it's pretty large, it would be great if I could select a region to zoom into with a tool similar to hide/unhide.

would it help if there was a mini-map in the corner that showed the whole map, a rectangle for where the view port was, and maybe bright dots where the PCs are? That way, you could glance at the mini-map, click or drag the view port to move it up where the PCs are going, or to where the PCs are...

Sounds good to me, but I hope to not raise noticeably the system requirements with requests such as this one, for keeping Roll20 light regarding resources.

It would also be helpful to be able to zoom using a mouse-wheel or two-finger touchpad scroll gesture as in Google maps.

I'd like the mouse wheel zoom the best, most intuitive to use. And, preferably, it would zoom on the mouses location.

I think it would help if the GM could 'ping' the map in a way that caused everyone else's map to scroll to that location.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. We are definitely looking at the zoom feature and plan to overhaul it in the near future. Keith: If you hold down the Shift key while doing a Map Ping, (just click and hold on the map with your Left Mouse Button), it will cause everyone to scroll to see that point on the map.
