When zooming a map on a crafting table, the new map does not have the same centre co-ordinates as the original map but rather is centred on the chunk containing the crafting bench.
Since you can only zoom a map that has already had it's position set by right-clicking, I would have expected the zoomed map to have the same centre.
In addition, it would be nice if the area already explored in the original map could be copied over to the zoomed map (scaled appropriately, of course).

Whilst I agree that the "nice to have" comment does duplicate MC-883, the main point of this bug report is NOT the same as MC-1404.
I'm not complaining that the map is not precisely centred on the player. What I'm saying is that, if I craft a new map from scratch and right-click it whilst in one area, then go to another part of my world entirely and change the scale of the map, it should still be centred in the original area.
What actually happens is that the scaled version of the map is centred at approximately the position of the crafting bench used to do the scaling.
It would make sense to either have the scaled version centred at the same point as the original map or to allow empty maps to be scaled and then right-clicked.
