No, but would be nice to expose more of the mapping parameters to the admin, so folks can customize it on a per map basis

currently, your best bet is to customize the mapping template:

templates/CRM/Contact/Form/Task/Map/Google.tpl

edit line 42 in templates/CRM/Contact/Form/Task/Map/Google.tpl

Code: [Select]
map.setCenter(new GLatLng( 0, 0 ), 0 );
To whatever you want the zoom to be. I like 13.

Code: [Select]
map.setCenter(new GLatLng( 0, 0 ), 13 );

Hi,
I tried your suggestion to edit the google.tpl file, but it has no effect on my map, which is still zoomed in to the maximum.
Any other ideas?

Thanks,
HeronGrace

What worked for me was to modify the following in Google.tpl:

Find and comment out the first line, below, and then add the second line, with whatever zoom number you want. I used 15:

        //map.setZoom(map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds));
        map.setZoom(15);

Got this from this thread...

Best,
HeronGrace
