REPLY SHOWS INCORRECT ZOOM AREA
under review
Canadagraphs
Just rewatched the replay from my game, and I just noticed since it was fresh in my mind. The zoom in the replay on my final round shows me looking at nothing, meanwhile in real time, I was staring at the city name printed on the side of a vehicle thats a few metres behind where the replay claims I was.
In the screen cap, you see the silver bus with the red top in image 1 up top. When I stopped I was parallel with the front of this bus, reading the tag on the door. You can see the red vehicle further ahead. NEITHER of them are moving, so the distance doesnt change on them from the 1st screen cap to the second.
In the second screen cap, it has me lined up at the far end of the vehicle, or approx 2 bus lengths away from where I actually stopped.
This could lead to a LOT of suspicion reports from people who dont ACTUALLY see what their opponents were seeing in the game.

Marcus Are both things I have brought up here under review, or just the replay zoom?
Because the scrolling lag is far far more important now. It is infuriating to play with it. I am fairly confident its at least 20% responsible for one or more of my losses in the last 3 days.

Canadagraphs: So regarding the problem you brought up in this post - as I only have your report on it currently I have collected the information and waiting to see if more issues like this crop up. Hence under review, but its not submitted to the team, yet.
The scrolling lag a you call it, we are also collecting information on and I can see a post you made was merged with a similar post here: https://www.geoguessr.com/support/bug-reports/p/long-zoom-of-the-map. So that one will be submitted to the team because as you say, it seems to be affecting a lot more people.

Marcus Thanks for the update. I have noticed this zoom issue seems to be on a lot more rounds than the couple I noticed early on. I dont even bother checking replays now. Its too unpredictable.
On the other matter,
I really am frustrated with it. It makes playing Duels a near guarantee for failure, since being able to find info on a map is 3Xs harder when it takes you 2-3Xs as long to zoom in & out.
I just played a duel, and would refresh after every round (BTW - really
expletive
annoying that I am booted out every time & have to rejoin...THAT needs to be resolved too), and it still only helped for like 1 round.....then, if I didnt refresh the next round, it went back to slow zoom.M

Follow up - it happened again (3rd time I have noticed it in my most recent game.)
There was an additional issue in this game that I will just add into here, unless you think a separate report is required.
Scrolling in on the map was not smooth & quick. It felt like I had to scroll 3 times as much to get the result needed, and it was not fast either. It also felt 1/3 as fast as usual. When I was on the game it was fine, other pages on the game, fine, other pages not on the game, fine, scrolling in on actual google maps, fine. JUST was happening on the in game map. Sadly, I dont have a replay, because the replay for the game shows it seeming to be faster than it was for me (causing me to be even more frustrated with instant replays now, ontop of the original issue.)
