Hi. How do I create a scenario for automatic zoom level. 

We are in Brazil so, the default is at level 5 or 6 to get an overview.  But depending on the search I want to automatically zoom to state level or city level. How do I do that?

Currently this is not possible. You can set the initial zoom level but not modify it on the fly.

Ok, how do I turn this question into an idea?

​​​@Freddy,

Did you find a solution for this? We managed to make a work around for this. Not the most idea solution, but the end result works smooth in Universal.

Our solution consists of a parent subject with 2 fields, id + zoomlevel and 18 details tabs for each zoom level a variant with its own zoom level. The right variant is made visible with a context procedure.

Hi @Harm Horstman ..  no not yet.. but we are not actively using the maps component at the moment, so I'm also not into it at the moment.  I can imagine it's not an ideal solution. I still hope this will be supported a bit more out of the box one day :) 

But if we get into this issue again, I'll know the work-around. Thanks for sharing that you have it. Still cannot really see how you steer the context to get to the right zoom level yet.

@Freddy 

In our application a table called ‘Work Locations’ can be a geographic area, line or point.

We save the coordinates of the work location, a calculated center point a manual centerpoint (optional) and the zoom level.

 

2 views are used for the map:

The result:
