How to reduce the reduce the zoom of google map while launching

Report

Posted on by MIA27

I am using the below code on the display form to open a google map:

Launch(
"https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=" & DataCardValue16.Text & "," & DataCardValue18.Text
)

It is working perfect, but it opens a big zoom, I mean the place till the street, what to have a view at a state level,

I mean more reduced zoom, so that I can see the state and country while opening, and if required the user will zoom manually on the screen.

Pls. advise

So far as I can gather from google documentation, zoom level is only a parameter in when using map_action=map

would work liek this (where lat.text & long.text are chanegd to your inputs, and you can edit zoom level to liking)

Launch( "https://www.google.com/maps/@?api=1&map_action=map&center="&lat.Text&","&long.Text&"&zoom=10")

Later tried the below it worked, its my mistake of understanding but the Red mark on the map for the exact location is not getting obtained. So the user will be confused
Launch(
"https://www.google.com/maps/@?api=1&map_action=map&center="&DataCardValue16.Text&","&DataCardValue18.Text&"&zoom=10")

Yah @MIA27 the google documentation for google maps does not indicate any available parameters to control zoom through the link while also maintaining the visibility of markers. If you want markers, it just opens in the default view, and user will have to control the zoom.

Ok, noted.
So my code which i posted to my question is ok then, as it open the google map with the red icon marker and user can later zoom in as required.
Thank you.
