When I initialize google maps in my app, I do something like this:

var myOptions = {
  center: new google.maps.LatLng(39.729001, -94.902342),
  zoom: 3,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), myOptions);
setUpMarker(map);

Which works, however, I would need to set up the center of the map and zoom for the specific marker that is created by the function setUpMarker.

I've tried inside the setUpMarker function to do this:

fromMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
  center: fromLatlng,
  zoom: 5,
  map: map,
  title: "Here"
});

But it didn't help. Thus, how do achieve of this effect?

Thank you guys for help.

• 1 A google.maps.Marker object doesn't have those options. If you want to change the center and the zoom of the google.maps.Map you need to call the setCenter and setZoom options on your map. – geocodezip Commented Jun 30, 2014 at 0:06
• Where does fromLatlng e from in your setupMarker function? – geocodezip Commented Jun 30, 2014 at 0:10

The map object has setZoom() and setCenter() functions for the same. Refer to:
