Google Maps Url, Zoom parameter not working

Question

I have this link that works: https://www.google.com/maps/@?api=1&map_action=map&query=1547+21st+Ave%2C+San+Francisco%2C+CA+94122&basemap=satellite

When i try to add "&Zoom=20", i get a black screen. Anyone know how to fix this?

Answer 1

Looks like you are trying to use incompatible parameters.

From the documentation https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/guide

Under "Display a map" (Note it specifies no markers or directions):

map_action=map is required and does not have "query" listed under parameters. One thing that is available is "center" and using the coordinates from the address you provided we get this:

https://www.google.com/maps/@?api=1&map_action=map&center=37.7588375,-122.481441&basemap=satellite&zoom=21

Now if this is not what you are looking for then there are other threads that discuss this like here and here.

And you will get something like this:

http://maps.google.com/maps?z=20&t=k&q=1547+21st+Ave%2C+San+Francisco%2C+CA+94122

This will give you a satellite view map with a marker on the location specified.
