Google Maps v3 fitBounds() Zoom too close for single marker

Question

Is there a way to set a max zoom level for fitBounds()? My problem is that when the map is only fed one location, it zooms in as far as it can go, which really

Answer 1

The way I prevent the map from zooming in to far is by adding this line of code:

var zoomOverride = map.getZoom();
        if(zoomOverride > 15) {
        zoomOverride = 15;
        }
      map.setZoom(zoomOverride);

Directly after this line:

map.setCenter(bounds.getCenter(), map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds));

Feel free to change the zoom level to whatever level you don’t want the map to zoom past.

If you have any problems or questions, just leave me a comment on the blog post I wrote about this at http://icode4you.net/creating-your-own-store-locator-map-how-to-prevent-the-map-from-zooming-in-too-close-on-a-single-marker
