Google Maps, Ruby on Rails, Zoom Level with One Marker

Google Maps, Ruby on Rails, Zoom level with one marker

This behavior is due to the auto_zoom built-in function in the google maps api.

One work around to this is to set it to false in the gmaps method:

<%= gmaps({
       "map_options" => { "auto_zoom" => false},
       "markers"     => { "data" => @json }
      })
%>

And then use the gmaps4rails_callback to fit your needs (be sure to have at least version 0.7.9)

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  function gmaps4rails_callback() {
    if (Gmaps4Rails.markers.length == 1) {
     //only one marker, choose the zoom level you expect
     Gmaps4Rails.map.setZoom(2);
    }
    else{
     //more than one marker, let's auto_zoom
     Gmaps4Rails.map_options.auto_zoom = true;
     Gmaps4Rails.adjust_map_to_bounds();
    }
  }
</script>

gmaps4rails single marker auto zoom

Ok, the interface changed a lot since I posted the answer you quote.

<%= gmaps("markers" => {"data" => @json, "options" => {"auto_zoom" => false} }) %>

<% content_for :scripts do %>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
      Gmaps.map.callback = function() {
        if (Gmaps.map.markers.length == 1) {
         //only one marker, choose the zoom level you expect
         setTimeout(function() { Gmaps.map.serviceObject.setZoom(5);}, 50);
        }
        else{
         //more than one marker, let's auto_zoom
         Gmaps.map.map_options.auto_zoom = true;
         Gmaps.map.adjustMapToBounds();
        }
      }
    </script>
<% end %>

Gmaps4rails V2 - change default zoom

remove:

handler.fitMapToBounds();

Replace with:

handler.getMap().setZoom(yourValue);

how restrict zoom-out level Google maps?

in gmap4rails we use minZoom and maxZoom option and its works for us
below our code that we use thanks

= gmaps({"map_options" => {"auto_zoom" => false,"minZoom" => 2, "maxZoom" => 15,"zoom" => 2}, "markers" => {"data" => @latest_projects_json }})

Android Google Maps API - show marker up to certain zoom

This can be easily done using zoom listeners and setVisible functions.

Show markers on google maps dynamically -Rails 3.2

well after struggling with jquery arrays and json ,i was able to find this best solution...this is working in all scenarios and all i need is to handle empty and null conditions,which i already did and its working the way i needed.HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE

my controller

def show_nearby_locations

  @nearbys = Place.near("#{params[:address]}", 5,:order => "distance",:units => :km)
  @nearbys.first(10)

end

in my view file

<%= javascript_tag do%>
 window.nearbys= <%=raw @nearbys.to_json %>;

<%end%>

this is my script inside view

function initialize() {
    var map;
    var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
    var mapOptions = {
        mapTypeId: 'roadmap'
    };

    // Display a map on the page
    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas-guest"), mapOptions);
    map.setTilt(45);            

    var markers=[];
    var infoWindowContent=[];
    $.each(nearbys, function(index) { 

        console.log( data[0][index].latitude,data[0][index].longitude );
        markers.push([nearbys[index]['title'], nearbys[index]['latitude'],nearbys[index]['longitude']]);
        infoWindowContent.push(['<div class="info_content" >' +
        '<h3 style="color: rgb(<%= rand(0..200)%>,<%= rand(0..200)%> ,<%= rand(0..200)%>);">'+nearbys[index]['title']+'</h3>' +'</br>'+
        '<p>'+nearbys[index]['about']+'</p>' +       
         '</div>']);

        });   

       // Display multiple markers on a map
       var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(), marker, i;        
      // Loop through our array of markers & place each one on the map  
      for( i = 0; i < markers.length; i++ ) {
          var position = new google.maps.LatLng(markers[i][1], markers[i][2]);
          bounds.extend(position);
          marker = new google.maps.Marker({
            position: position,
            map: map,
            title: markers[i][0]
        });

        // Allow each marker to have an info window    
        google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
            return function() {
                infoWindow.setContent(infoWindowContent[i][0]);
                infoWindow.open(map, marker);


            }
        })(marker, i));

        // Automatically center the map fitting all markers on the screen
        map.fitBounds(bounds);

    }

    // Override our map zoom level once our fitBounds function runs (Make sure it only runs once)
    var boundsListener = google.maps.event.addListener((map), 'bounds_changed', function(event) {
        this.setZoom(14);
        google.maps.event.removeListener(boundsListener);
    });

}//initialize ends
