Within a StoryMaps Guided Tour, how do I make the map feature fill the entire screen?

[RichardAdams]

When building a Guided Tour within StoryMaps, the map within the map feature is always smaller than it's allocated space, with grey area around the map. I can manually zoom in, but that has to be done by the viewer, which ruins the look of that feature. Is there any way that the map can be resized to fill size all of its allocated area?

Hi Richard -- Yes, that is possible. For each tour place there's a "custom zoom level" setting. If you click Edit location, toggle the Custom zoom level setting on, then zoom to the scale you want the place to be viewed at. When you set the place location the story will zoom to that scale for that place. This setting is available for each place so you have specific control for your entire tour.
