Zoom out, and you can see your player. What the OP is talking about is when you're zoomed out to see the whole map, and you center the map in your screen, but then as you move, the whole map moves around even though you can see the whole map. So it's silly to have the map move around you; when you're zoomed out, it can just sit still and quit messing with your eyes.
this is exactly what i mean, i dont see any reason why the map should move around even though you are zoomed out to the max and not only that, some maps are really small you dont even need to zoom out completely to see the whole map.
Plus im not sure if this is correct or not, maybe this is one of the reason we often get the lagging when we try to move around
