I really like auto-zoom based on speed, but I would like to be able to configure the speed and the zoom level for the speed range.

For example, from 0-40km/h scale should be 500m. 40-60km scale should be 800m, 60-80, 80-100, above 100km/h, zoom level should be 2km, etc

Obviously everybody has different needs based on their mode of travel.

There are 2 settings:
- Settings->Navigation-> Autozoom map: it comes with 3 settings.
- In the map, per profile (in your case your car mode screen): long-press the + or - in the bottom right, select which map magnification you want to use.

As per my original posting, I would like to be able to adjust the speeds and zoom/scale . Locus does this, for example.

What exactly those settings - on long/medium/short distance mean, in context of all 3 car / bicycle / foot modes  together ?

Does e.g. medium distance in context car/bike/foot navigation mean the same distance, or the same time "to leave the screen"  ( latter makes more sense to me )

Does magnification 200% also mean half "screen leaving time", or is map zoom accordingly changed ?

For me it would make sense to have autozooming scale based on time scale.
E.g.  Short - leave screen in 30 s, Medium - leave screen in 60 s, Long - leave screen in 120 s.  ( numbers just illustrative )

I use OsmAnd on my motorcycle and in my car exclusively, so speed should be the deciding factor for my usage. Like I mentioned in my first posting, I would like to zoom level/scale to be adjustable based on speed. For example, if I am travelling at 100km/h, having the scale at 500m is pretty useless to see any upcoming roads.

what is more or less what I have said. As speed and time to leave the screen are tightly related.
