如何根据标记位置设置Google地图的缩放级别

Question

I have placed two markers on a Google map. One is in the USA and other one is somewhere in Asia. Google only gives zoom levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.

I don't want to hard-code the zoom level. How can I display all markers depending upon distance? Ie if two items are very close to each other or in the same city, a close zoom level should be used, and if they're far apart, then maximum zoom level should be used.

Answer 1

You need to include those markers into a bounding box, then use the LatLngBounds object below to set the camera on it:

private void addMarkers() {
    MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
    LatLngBounds.Builder boundsBuilder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();

    //add the marker locations that you'd like to display on the map
    boundsBuilder.include(new LatLng(lat1, lng1));
    boundsBuilder.include(new LatLng(lat2, lng2));

    final LatLngBounds bounds = boundsBuilder.build();

    CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, width, height, padding);
    map.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);
}

Answer 2

You can specify the zoom level on location and with zoom level

mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(37,
            -121), 6));

What are you using to generate your maps? I'm making use of the GMap2 API in a project of mine from about 8 months back, and it looks like I just had to call 'GDirections(map{{div}});' on, well, the map div in order to get it to display a route between two locations, and adjust the level of zoom appropriately.
