This one is probably just a matter of calling the routines in a
different order.  We changed it a while back so that the update
happens after the map draw, I think so that you wouldn't mistake the
current map in front of you for matching the zoom level listed.  Now
you're asking to switch it back.

I would think that some other visual indication might be good.
Perhaps we could update to the new zoom level but inverse color it
or change the background until the map is done updating?

I believe the military has this figured out.  They two the GPS
antenna (or perhaps the whole GPS these days) on a float.  If it
wouldn't prove a safety hazard for the diver, it might be worth a
shot.
