Geography: Map: Google: Zoom: Operation: Set: How to change the zoom
level in the URL?
===
Method: Set the 'spn' value
===
Steps: Overview:
1. -Given the URL
1. -E.g.
http://maps.google.com/maps?
q=43.69,7.26&ll=43.69,7.26&spn=0.350,0.350&t=h&hl=en
2. -Change the 'spn' value
1. -E.g. zoom in by replacing it twice with '0.001'
http://maps.google.com/maps?
q=43.69,7.26&ll=43.69,7.26&spn=0.001,0.001&t=h&hl=en
===
Method: Search for the address + zip code of the location in Google
maps, and get the current spn value from the corresponding URL
===
Steps: Overview:
1. -Goto URL
http://maps.google.com
2. -Type the address you are searching for (possibly using double
quotes to indicate fixed parts)
1. -E.g.
25 "West street" 10006 "New York"
3. -When this location is found in Google maps,
possibly change the zoom level by clicking on the
arrows on the left
4. -When finished, click the link (or right click, and choose 'Copy
shortcut')
'Link to this page'
5. -That will copy the direct URL to this location to the Windows
clipboard.
6. -Pasting this URL shows e.g. the current 'spn' value
http://www.google.com/maps?
q=25+West+St,+New+York,+New+York+10006,+USA&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=16&ll=40.707
