I should have mentioned this earlier. I got quite a few requests for a 
zoom function already.

I have prepared the data for zoom functionality already but am still 
working on the best way to implement it.
So instead of letting you wait I started with a fixed zoom on global level.

What would be the coolest way to zoom? I thought of a slippy map with 
transparency above the regular tiles.
Others mentioned presets like continent/country.
I could also imagine to let you set an arbitrary bounding box based on a 
zoom level.
eg you say you want to see zoom level 13 and then you get a bounding box 
that you can place over the area of interest.
