Zoom buttons in maps app

Zoom buttons for maps, for one handed zooming. Hate pinch to zoom, impossible with one hand.
Think this proposal should be considered again

The modRana flexible navigation system supports volume button zooming when installed from OpenRepos. :)
The modRana version in OpenRepos unfortunately does not have this feature as the volume buttons API is still not cleared for usage by Harbour applications. But you vote for the corresponding issue, so that Jolla knows users want this functionality and so that modRana in Harbour can reach feature parity with the OpenRepos in the future. :)

Yeah, that was one very clear advantage of Nokia maps over Google ones.
