title: Google Maps: how do i change the default zoom?
body: <p>I've created a simple <a href="http://bangalore-property-buy.com" rel="nofollow">real-estate website</a> with a Google-map via Google-'My Maps'. </p>
  
  <p>The site has a photo-album with a bunch of pics. I've used some of these pics to create 'My Maps' - a Google mapping thingy which allows you to add pics to a private map just for your web-site.</p>
  
  <p>The map renders on my website just fine, except, the markers are all scrunched up. How do I give that map a higher 'Zoom' so they don't look so cluttered.</p>
  
  <p>Note: I've read <a href="http://marcgrabanski.com/jquery-google-maps-tutorial-basics/" rel="nofollow">http://marcgrabanski.com/jquery-google-maps-tutorial-basics/</a>
  but here, <strong>he starts from scratch</strong> by loading the default map for a particular lat/long using </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>var burnsvilleMN = new GLatLng(44.797916,-93.278046);</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and then adds all the markers: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>marker = new GMarker(point);</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><strong>I have an existing 'My Maps' map</strong> <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=zMUI-z11i1mw.k7KikFgwemt0" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=zMUI-z11i1mw.k7KikFgwemt0</a> that I need to modify (the center is set) from within 'My Maps'.</p>
