Click Event to Center and Zoom Map?

[backbeat]

I’d like to create a click event to center and zoom on a specific ZIP code (using lat/long). I can get the map to zoom to the existing center using setZoom(), but can’t get setCenter() to work.

Is it possible? If so, how?

Thanks.

Hi,

You need to know the map name (you can set it in the shortcode or it’ll default to ‘mapp0’ for the first map).

Then the code is:
mapp0.setCenter(-32,22);

Or you can get the google map object and call its functions directly:

var gmap = mapp0.getMap();
gmap.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(-32, 22));

Thank you. That worked. I was making it harder than it needed to be…
