Question

I list my users on the google maps based on their locations.
But I dont want it zoom in to a degree where others can see on what street they live.
Is there a way to disable “zoom in” feature in the following Google maps codes?

Thanks!

function initialize() {
    var data = <%=Data%>;
    var center = new google.maps.LatLng(48.404840395764175, 2.6845264434814453);
    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
        zoom: 2,
        center: center,
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    });

    var markers = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < data.users.length; i++) {
        var location = data.users[i];
        var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(location.latitude, location.longitude);
        var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: latLng });
        markers.push(marker);
    }
    var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, markers);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

You can add minZoom and maxZoom properties to the options object you pass to the Map constructor:

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
    zoom: 2,
    center: center,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
    maxZoom: 10
});

From the docs for maxZoom:

The maximum zoom level which will be displayed on the map. If omitted,
or set to null, the maximum zoom from the current map type is used
instead.
