Many tasks on RadMap require smooth zooming for the better user experience. For example, floor plans or facility layouts. Default zoom increments are too large for those tasks. We should provide a way to make zoom smooth while keeping zoom level as integer value.
We also require the option for the zoomlevel to allow for fractional values and not just integer values. Currently the 1 integer point is jumping exponentially. Hope you can start on the development soon.
Hello Dominik,
Currently this feature is not planned for development. When work starts on it, the status of this item will be changed to "In Development".
I am afraid that I cannot suggest an approach for granular zooming with the current implementation of the RadMap. You can follow the item in order to get notified when there are any news.

Progress Telerik
Open-source project SharpMap (which is a winforms control) is able to render an image to fit the viewport. You could tell it to render a geographic area (also works for us with floor plans etc) and it would fit the rendered image in the viewport i.e. depending on the relative aspect ratio it would exactly fit the geographic region in the viewport. I've attached a sample app that shows this capability with an OSM map. Note: SharpMap supports similar capability to Telerik for zooming with mouse wheel, zoom to selection box etc. In the sample app if you resize the window, you'll see how SharpMap can render to fit the viewport.
