I know this is probs a bit of a trivial thing but I keep wanting to zoom in on the map to get a closer look at the tiny countries and of what countries I have etc as it's really hard to see on the map as it is and zooming in on the whole page doesn't work.

So I would really like a feature (like on google maps) where we could zoom in and out of the map to be able to see all the little countries and things and what we have from where :)
Hi, Vixon Joyce, You can use either the maximize button on the map or if that is not big enough, use the zoom feature (after using the maximize button) in your browser, which you should be able to locate on toolbar at top of browser screen.

Hello Coinman48, I didn't know about the maximise option which I have just tried and it's better however I still think a zoom would be good like in Google Maps.

As I said in my initial suggestion, zooming in the webpage doesn't really help. Thanks :)
After maximising the map, while still on the maximised map, you should be able to zoom as large as you could possibly want, using the zoom feature of your browser. In Edge, zoom is located in the ... section (More) of the toolbar. I think other browsers also have a zoom feature that can be used. In any case, you can press Ctrl and + or - to zoom in or out on the maximised map.

I don't think you understand what I mean.
I already tried that, yes it zooms in more but it's not what I meant. Like on google maps when you can zoom in and drag it around etc.
There are two maps on here; which one are you having trouble with ...

Ok just to be clear to people, I am not having trouble with them, I just thought of a suggestion to improve the map which shows your coins from the countries. The members map moves and zooms in and scrolls and that's fantastic and it's that that I was suggesting for the other map.
The only way right now is to maximize the map, then if you look at your browser's address bar you see something like this:
https://en.numista.com/vous/carte.php?map_type=type&l=1870

Now change "1870" (the numbers you'll see may differ) at the end to something bigger like 3000. It's not as practical as the members map, but it'll do the job ;)

​Wow, that actually works and lets you easily see all the tiny islands, etc. Thanks!!

​That's the right one VJ. It brings you to your own map, shows all the countries and the amount coins you have (each country). ...and yes you can zoom on it too!
Thank you for share Bryan!
Cents are money too!

​It seems that your suggestion is still not understood...:°
​ Do you know when was the last time an idea presented here was added to the site? I don't think anyone who's been here for a while actually believes this suggestion will be implemented within the next few years.
The idea here was to show that something similar is already available.
Been here since Sep 2015 and haven't noticed any significant changes from member suggestions.
