specifying a custom center via map_config

[funtoosh]

hi there,
i was trying to give a map with loads of markers a custom center point, "default_point" would not work, as there are location elements in location_selector, so i tried to add a center via map_config: {center: LatLng(lat: 52.539366, lng: 13.387549)} but to no avail ... are there any other ways to achieve that? am i missing sth.?
cheers from germany, and thx for the plugin, great job! -f

@funtoosh

Have you had any luck with this? I am too trying to work out how to have a custom center for the map.

See mine: http://www.deeside.ac.uk/community/. Need the map icons centering

Thanks

Any chance you two have had luck with this? I'm attempting to center a map at a specific point rather than automatically centering based on pin dispersal... using center: google.maps.LatLng([point], [point]) isn't working for me. The map continues to center based on the pins.

Thanks!!

No luck at all, let me know if you find one!

Cheers

Hey brd184,

I was able to accomplish centering the map on the marker areas I want by using the bounded:false mod here:
tra@5f7414b

If you specify bounded:false in your data-jmapping attribute the marker will not be included in that centering/boundary calculation. So, while it's not specifying a "center point" per se, I'm achieving a center point by excluding markers.

Not sure if I'm explaining it well! ...hope it makes sense. The site I'm working with isn't public yet, otherwise I'd give you a link to my example. It will be live soon though and I'll post a link.

@metalguru

I know this is a few months old, but how do you actually set the center Lat/Lng?

Hello, I was also able to accomplish centering the map with @metalguru's method.

I actually had the HTML5 metadata_options: {type: 'html5'}, enabled, so I simply chose my point with data-bounded="true"> to center the map to that metadata.
