Viewing areas on the map

[Fengalion]

I have been using Carbonite for a while now but I have been noticing something that I have not been able to fix or find a solution for. I will be in a zone and then want to look at a zone far away or even just a few zones away from the one I am currently in. However I cannot zoom in or check on a zone, I try every combination of buttons but either have nothing happen, or get pulled back to the zone I am in. The only way to be able to do this is to disable the carbonite maximized map and switch back to the default. Is anyone able to look at any zone in the game no matter where you are with Carbonite? Is there some option I need to enable perhaps I missed?
