Zoom "minimap"

I'm terribly sorry if I'm asking this in the wrong place, I can't for the life of me figure out how exactly it used to work.

Currently, I have pinch zoom on my reMarkable 2, which I'm guessing comes from the stock software (2.7 for me) these days ?

However, I distinctly remember that there used to be a "minimap" of sorts in the upper right corner that would allow me to select specific zoom levels instead of being stuck to having to make rough guesses while pinch zooming. But I cannot figure out how or when that box shows up.

Is this something this tool did and/or could do again ? I thought it was super useful, like I said, especially for selecting specific zoom levels. The minimap itself was only of secondary use, so if this tool could just let me select specific zoom levels through the ExtraUI, that would already be plenty to make me happy!

the minimap disappeared from the stock firmware with the update to pinch zoom. I don't know if it could be "resurrected" somehow ...

Thanks for the response, at least that clears up/confirms why I remembered seeing it and couldn't find a way to make it happen. I must have opened a few dozen books thinking maybe it only worked for some :D

Like I said, the minimap itself was less relevant to me, and I would think many others, than the option to set specific zoom levels - maybe that could be added to the ExtraUI with comparatively low effort, just a few more buttons with "Zoom to 133%/150%/200%/400%" ? I often zoom in to write smaller notes, and currently, my notes look all over the place, because I'm zooming in with pinch, so no two zooms are ever quite the same, and as a result, my notes are all slightly different sizes :(

Thanks for confirming it, terrible that it got removed. I think the minimap should be recovered if possible. Am I the only one?
