Why does the Google maps display shrink? (update, screen, format)

[oldhousegirl]

Hello. New smartphone user here. How do I stop the map from shrinking, the font size I mean. When I zoom in everything shrinks. How do I keep the size consistent?

The app is built that way, to allow for more information on the screen as you scroll in. I don't know of a way to increase the font size, unfortunately. From what little googling I did about it there doesn't seem to be a way to fix this at the moment.

^^Thank you. It didn't used to be that way. I guess there was an update atleast 6 months or so ago which is when I noticed it.
