grahamroy zoom level and default map type in Salesforce International Mapping using Google Maps
Hi.
I have added the 'Salesforce International Mapping using Google Maps' package from Force.com labs and I am using the embedded content in the page rather than the button. I was wondering wether there was a way to change the default map type (to satelite) and the zoom level.
The only settings I can see are for the background colour, height, width etc.
Cheers,
Graham
I've figured this out. Just in case anyone else needs to do this, take the following steps:
Go to your name -> set up -> static resources
download the zip file called 'GoogleMapsInternational'
unzip the file and locate the section shown below and add the two lines I have highlighted
// plot address using geocode from Google
map.setCenter(point, 15);
var marker = new GMarker(point, icon);
map.addOverlay(marker);
map.setZoom(21);
map.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_MAP);
// create information window when user clicks on marker
GEvent.addListener(marker,"click", function()
save and zip the file
click edit within the static resources section where the file was downloaded from
upload the file you have just amended
The map should now be a satellite one that is very close up.
There are several options you can use for the map types
map type can be:
G_NORMAL_MAP displays the default road map view.
G_SATELLITE_MAP displays Google Earth satellite images.
G_HYBRID_MAP displays a mixture of normal and satellite views.
G_DEFAULT_MAP_TYPES contains an array of the above three types, useful for iterative processing.
G_PHYSICAL_MAP displays a physical map based on terrain information.

and the zoom level between 1 (very far out) and 21+ (very close): http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/#Zoomlevels
