have you tried using the thumb pin? its in the top right hand corner of the viewport. it will lock the viewport to the currently displayed nodes. you can also hold it down and select a link number so you can have it follow a certain group of panels.
Thanks, it tried using Pins before without sucess and that's why I came here, but after some work I realized that pinning only works with nodes at objects level, and not geometry level like I was trying. Thanks again
