[closed] Google Maps - resizing
I have a business request that they want to show the USA and Canada and the State/Provence would be sized according to the data that is represented. Then when they pick or zoom in to a State/Provence then the counties will be sized to the data.

Can this be done? If so, how?

We are using WF 8.0.08 and the App Center.

Hi David,

Normally those maps zoom to the data that is within the data points drawn on the map when initially drawn.

If you need to control it manually and I remember correctly the map is drawn in a div that is usually called something like "mapcontrol1". This being the case then you can control the zoom using JavaScript -

var map = getMapObject("mapcontrol1");
map.setMapZoom(n);
// where n is a number from 1 to 17 I think?

Tony - Thanks for the reply. I believe that the setMapZoom is for the whole map that is currently displayed. What I want to do is to control the Size of each State example would be CA would be 2, TX would be 4, IL would be 1, NY would be 1, FL would be 5, MA would be 3, and so forth.

David,

It looks like that feature is available only if you are using ESRI maps. In google maps, you can zoom the whole map only instead of the particular selection.
