Settings

Under settings is where you set the map display options:

Map Type

There are two map types to select from; Interactive (default) and Static Image, each with its own specific settings.

Interactive Map

The interactive map settings include the following:

  • Height: Defined in pixels. The map width is defined by the width of the cell into which the map is inserted.
  • Zoom level: A value from 0 (the world) to 21 (street level).
  • Mobile zoom level: A value from 0 (the world) to 21 (street level). This zoom is specific to mobile devices.
  • Gesture Handling: Use the provided options to choose how to handle gestures on the map. Full details found in the Google Maps documentation.
    • Greedy: The map always pans (up or down, left or right) when the user swipes (drags on) the screen. In other words, both a one-finger swipe and a two-finger swipe cause the map to pan.
    • Cooperative: The user must swipe with one finger to scroll the page and two fingers to pan the map. If the user swipes the map with one finger, an overlay appears on the map, with a prompt telling the user to use two fingers to move the map. On desktop applications, users can zoom or pan the map by scrolling while pressing a modifier key (the ctrl or ⌘ key).
    • None: This option disables panning and pinching on the map for mobile devices, and dragging of the map on desktop devices.
    • Auto: Depending on whether the page is scrollable, the Maps JavaScript API sets the gesture handling property to either cooperative or greedy as below:
        • Set to cooperative if the page body is bigger than the map window, or if the Maps JavaScript API cannot determine the page size (for example, if it’s in an iframe).
        • Set to greedy, if the page body is not bigger than the map window and it’s unlikely that the user needs to scroll.

      The fullscreen control is visible by default on mobile devices, so users can easily enlarge the map. When the map is in fullscreen mode, users can pan the map using one or two fingers. Note: iOS doesn’t support the fullscreen feature. The fullscreen control is therefore not visible on iOS devices.

  • Disable default UI: Hides the default Google Maps controls.
  • Keep map centered: Keeps the map centered when it’s container is resized.
  • Fallback Image: This image will be displayed if there are any problems with displaying the specified map.
  • Fallback Image Size: Set the size of the fallback image.
