Question

I’m using GoogleMap Control have a collection of markers with Geo locations. I can calculate the min and max lat longs and find the center point on where to center the map but I also need to calculate the zoom level programmatically. Does anyone how to do this?

Found this on an issue page of the GoogleMap Control project site. You have to inject javascript to do it.

    // Set the map to call zoomMap javascriptFunction
    GoogleMap.OnClientMapLoad = "zoomMap";

    // build zoomMap javascript function. I already know what my bounds are
    StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();
    script.AppendFormat("<script>").AppendLine();
    script.Append("function zoomMap() {").AppendLine();
    script.AppendFormat("var sw = new GLatLng({0}, {1});", minLat, minLong).AppendLine();
    script.AppendFormat("var ne = new GLatLng({0}, {1});", maxLat, maxLong).AppendLine();
    script.AppendFormat("var bounds = new GLatLngBounds(sw, ne);").AppendLine();
    script.AppendFormat("var zoomLevel = GoogleMap.GMap.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds);").AppendLine();
    script.AppendFormat("GoogleMap.GMap.setZoom(zoomLevel);", GoogleMap.ClientID).AppendLine();
    script.Append("}").AppendLine();
    script.AppendFormat("</script>").AppendLine();

    Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("map", script.ToString());
