Zoom in to marker google.maps

Question

I can't zoom to a marker properly.

I'm trying to switch the view to a specified marker, but can't ge tit to work.

I've tried

map.setCenter(location); map.setZoom(20); 

and

map.fitBounds(new google.maps.latLngBounds(location,location)); 

but in the first case, I simply get zoomed in without the center change being registered, and in the second case I get this overview over a huge area, not zoomed in at all.

Perhaps this issue could be solved by setting a timout from setcenter to setzoom, but that's an ugly hack to me, so a prettier solution would be preferred.

How do you guys do this?

Also - if the infowindow could be displayed without changing content, that would really be a plus to, but the most important thing is to zoom into the marker at the right spot, close up.

thank you very much.

Answer 1

The solution turned out to be

map.setZoom(17); map.panTo(curmarker.position);
