When the screen is a little wet using Field Maps I’ve noticed that the pinch to zoom is not very reactive it would be good to have an option on the screen to just tap zoom in and zoom out buttons or maybe using the volume buttons up and down on the device to zoom in and out?  Is there keyboard shortcuts if using an attached keypad? Like juniper allegro Bluetooth keyboard.

Hi @DavidHerries1 im not sure if this will be more helpful with a wet screen but you can double tap on the screen to zoom in and double tap (with two fingers) to zoom out. Outside of that and the pinching motion these are the only ways to zoom on the mobile device.

I came here to ask the same thing. Whilst collecting data in the snow, rain and wind last week I was wearing warm mitts and interacting with the screen using a stylus. This works well until you need to change the zoom level.
I wasn't aware of the double click to zoom in, but a 2 double tap doesn't work with mitts and it's a pain to repeatedly take them off. I don't want to have to stitch conductive thread into clothing just for this.
