I used to zoom and drag maps using _base d3_…I wonder whether something like [d3-versor-dragging](https://observablehq.com/@d3/versor-dragging) is applicable to Plot.geo…or something else, BTW. Thanks for any feedbacks ---

Hi Enrico, here’s a direct port of the D3 notebook for Plot: [Plot: Versor Zooming / Observable | Observable](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-versor-zooming) Note that we ditch and recreate a new chart each time—but it’s probably OK. We could optimize it maybe by working on a render transform, but we would have to write quite a bit more code. You can disable the zooming part by specifying a zoomExtent [1, 1]. Note: in the future, please create a [GitHub discussion](https://github.com/observablehq/plot/discussions/) instead, as we’re trying to reorganize the knowledge base around the github repo. (In fact if you’re OK to paste the same question there, I will paste the same answer ;-)) ---

Super thanks! here is the [new topic in Github](https://github.com/observablehq/plot/discussions/2258) ---

This is oddly far less performant than the source notebook. It seems to barely work on my phone. ---

FYI, here is how I used Fil’s code… [World FIRs with zoom and rotate / Enrico Spinielli | Observable](https://observablehq.com/@espinielli/world-firs-with-zoom-and-rotate) I have issues with labels positioning, I think because I use centroid and for fancy projections it is not the right way… ---
