Good point. Going to fix it.

I tried a lot of approaches to scrolling and zooming while creating the 
widget. Any restriction to scroll and zoom breaks the behaviour when the 
map point under cursor remains still while mouse-wheel-zoom. Although 
overscroll restriction may visually look better because the map is never 
scrolled out of screen, this also feels totally crappy from UX point of 
view. It feels like "oh my why things are moving away?". And also this 
is very consistent with every 2GIS system I've tried to use before.

There's another thing I'm worrying about. The map definitely needs 
styling capabilities because it should match user's theme. I have no 
idea of how this is achieved and how to make it work on gtk2/3 edge.
