[GIS] Linking to a particular focus and zoom in Google My Maps

google maps

I have a Google My Map which lists places in the US. By default, the map zooms to the full US to include all places. I'd like to be able to link to specific focus/zoom levels (e.g. just places in NYC), but the URL doesn't change when I change focus in the UI. Is there any way to hack the URLs to do this?

Best Answer

You can change the zoom level of an embedded Google My Maps by adding "&z=X" where X is the zoom, so in your case you would embed your map like so:

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=11taTOqfaQSmlryJCcCcwdanSiew&z=10" width="640" height="480"></iframe>

Just change the z=X to whatever zoom you need. Hopefully this helps answer your question .
