No, it's simply that this seems entirely wrong. Vectors should never
continue to display in the same place after zooming: at worst, they
might disappear, but they should never be *wrong*.

If you look at http://crschmidt.net/mapping/vectors.html , does it do
what you want? If you look at it, can you see what you're doing
differently that results in the different behavior?
