How to set the default zoom level on new Google Maps?

Question

I readed many question, map help, product forums and so on... but I never find the answer just this "It is not possible". I can't believe it.

So how can I set the default zoom level on an embed Google Map?

Now I have this link for my map: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zV4QqQ0y5KZs.kFj05lIIpS5s

I was tried thi z=10 parameter in the URL, it doesn't work. Is there any other parameter, or maybe something JavaScript tricks to set up the zoomlevel? Or something other HTML parameter like data-zoom or something...?

Answer 1

It seems the &z=nn parameter now works.

Try this:
