Azure Map does not zoom out completely

Question

I'm working on a WordPress plugin and I needed to migrate from Bing Maps API to Azure Maps.

I noticed that it is not possible to zoom out to the maximum on a map created with the Azure maps API when it is restricted to a smaller portion of a screen. The more noticeable it is, the smaller the map gets. 

Example:

This is the maximum zoom-out available.

Comparison with the Bing Maps similar size:

Maximum zoom-out for a Bing Map

Of course, I tested this with minZoom options like:

map 

 

As you can see the maximum zoom out is drastically reduced.

This WordPress plugin allows you to show albums with photos from all over the world and smaller maps may not show all of them.

 

Internet search showed me only one other post about this issue

and similar but probably not correctly described here:

Is there a solution to this problem or have I missed something?
