@abowen if your in dynamic mode & set "zoom correction" to negative two, then that is as far out as the auto zoom will go
on my phone which is quite a large long screen, that gives me about 15 miles, sunbury-on-thames to bagshot (M3 jct 1 - jct 3) which is way more than I need
15 miles is about 15 minutes ahead & i don't need to plan that far enough in advance

Like @Rainer-Treichel I normally use a zoom correction setting of -0.6 that shows me about five miles ahead which is more than adequate
"the app won't zoom out far enough" how far are you expecting!?
the compass icon tells you what mode your in,
the red arrow in the picture above shows a triangle symbol within a circle - this is dynamic mode & the triangle is pointing north in this case
your position/location icon wil be to the bottom third of your screen, in my case this is the pink triangle/arrow
in "top down heading up" mode your position/location icon wil be to the bottom third of your screen like this & your position/location icon will always point to the top of your screen

the compass needle will always be pointing to the north/south, the needles angle/orientation will vary depending on your heading, the needles angle/orientation will vary so it always points to the north/south
in "top down north up" mode your position/location icon wil be to the in the centre of your screen & your position/location icon will rotate as your heading changes
the compass needle will always be pointing to the top of your screen, north is up & up is the top of the screen

as far as I am aware auto zoom should definitely not be functioning in the "top down heading up" mode
in this mode according to the documentation the zoom should only be set by the magnification keys + & -
no auto zooming should be occuring & the map should stay at the fixed zoom level you have chosen with the + & - keys
If things are zooming when your in "top down heading up" mode then something definitely seems wrong
