It seems to me that the +/- zoom buttons on the map on the touchscreen are backwards...I was messing with it today, and touched +, and it zoomed *out*...to my mind, and in my experience, the + means zooming IN for greater detail (*increasing* the magnification, so to speak), while - means to decrease it/zoom out.

Anybody else concur?

Garmin does the same thing. You are increasing the zoom range figure from let's say 5 nm to 20 nm. That is plus zoom for instance.

And they'd be wrong, too. :)

+ every Windows program with a zoom slider (Word, etc.).

At the very least, it should be configurable...that said, these standards have been out there for decades now, so I'm surprised that Garmin gets it wrong, as well.
