When using the Mappedin SDK, I’m not able to zoom very far into my map. When the map first loads it’s small and zoomed out and I can’t pinch/scroll to zoom in very far. How can I change this behaviour?

I’m using SDK version 5.

When the MapView loads a map, it has default values for min and max zoom. These are chosen to fit with an average map size. If the map is small or large, the min and max zoom values should be set when showing the map. This controls the range the user can zoom in and out.

For version 5, set [MPICamera.minZoom](https://docs.mappedin.com/android-sdk-api/v5/latest/-mappedin%20-android%20-s-d-k/com.mappedin.sdk.managers/-m-p-i-camera-manager/set-min-zoom.html?query=fun%20setMinZoom(zoomLevel:%20Double)) and [MPICamera.maxZoom](https://docs.mappedin.com/android-sdk-api/v5/latest/-mappedin%20-android%20-s-d-k/com.mappedin.sdk.managers/-m-p-i-camera-manager/set-max-zoom.html?query=fun%20setMaxZoom(zoomLevel:%20Double))using [MPICameraManager](https://docs.mappedin.com/android-sdk-api/v5/latest/-mappedin%20-android%20-s-d-k/com.mappedin.sdk.managers/-m-p-i-camera-manager/index.html).

Thanks, I have this working. I had to play around with those values a bit to find the right values. It now zooms in and out to appropriate levels.
