Hi,
For me it would be nice, if the map could be zoomed into location, e.g. my country the netherlands, when it is loaded. One could allways zoom back out...
for example maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=nl&g...995,7.075195&z=7.
thanks
Bernhard

Will have to investigate and verify whether this is possible.

Hi!
I'm just a beginner with web sites and Joomla, so I hope I'm allowed to do what I've done and that I haven't broken anything. I do love maps, which is what got me started on working this out.

When you sign up with Google, it gives an example of code, which includes "map.setCenter" and some coordinates. I found the code in the mod_j15visitormap.php file. I'm in Christchurch, New Zealand which is around 172 east, 43 south.

I changed the coordinates in the .php file from (0, 0), 1) - the last digit is for magnification.

map.setCenter(new GLatLng(-40, 182), 4)

You'll need to play around a bit to get the coordinates and magnification that work best for you. You can find your latitude and longitude from www.worldatlas.com

I guess for most people this will do until the fields become parameters.

This is a really neat module and I'm looking forward to our visitors starting to appear on the map!

Have fun!
Vicki

Hi Vicky,

thanks for replying to the topic,

because of your reply I too changed line 213 of mod_j15visitormap.php
to
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(52.167194, 5.537109), 6);
centering on the netherlands and part
of Belgium where most my visitors come from.

That's great! we'll add this as a feature

Module has been updated to parametrize latitude, longitude and zoom
