Is the map zoom still annoying?

I zoom in and out on every ride on my old 705. (It has two side buttons for zoom, so I can do it without looking.) I need to keep it zoomed in quite far to see exactly where the turn is located. It doesn't do the countdown display to the next turn like newer Garmins. Then I often zoom out to get an idea of the next 5 or 10 minutes -- is it straight ahead, or are there multiple turns ahead?
