Not big deal, but in the field would be better moving the cursor
to the approximate place and then zoom and get automatic re-centering.

In the field, it's better to avoid the mouse (actually, there is often 
no mouse
but the hateful pad, cannot believe that hardware engineers have not come
with something better than such an uncomfortable and anti-ergonomic system!)
or just use it for rough positioning. A way to move the cursor (not to 
pan) with
the keyboard (i.e. Ctrl+->) would be handy also, perhaps displaying a 
cross-hair.

Maybe we could define different sets of keyboard shortcuts and make sort 
of "for in the field"
mode and "for in the office" mode.
