Maximum Zoom Imagery Service

  • This webpage demonstrates a Google Maps application showcasing the Maximum Zoom Imagery Service.

  • Users can click on the map of metropolitan Tokyo to view the maximum zoom level available at that specific location.

  • The application utilizes thegoogle.maps.MaxZoomService to retrieve and display the maximum zoom level data.

  • The provided code snippets include implementations in both TypeScript and JavaScript, along with HTML and CSS for styling and structure.

This example creates a map of metropolitan Tokyo. If the user clicks on the map,a popup window indicates the maximum zoom level at that location.

Read thedocumentation.

TypeScript

letmap:google.maps.Map;letmaxZoomService:google.maps.MaxZoomService;letinfoWindow:google.maps.InfoWindow;functioninitMap():void{map=newgoogle.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map")asHTMLElement,{zoom:11,center:{lat:35.6894,lng:139.692},mapTypeId:"hybrid",});infoWindow=newgoogle.maps.InfoWindow();maxZoomService=newgoogle.maps.MaxZoomService();map.addListener("click",showMaxZoom);}functionshowMaxZoom(e:google.maps.MapMouseEvent){maxZoomService.getMaxZoomAtLatLng(e.latLngasgoogle.maps.LatLng,(result:google.maps.MaxZoomResult)=>{if(result.status!=="OK"){infoWindow.setContent("Error in MaxZoomService");}else{infoWindow.setContent("The maximum zoom at this location is: "+result.zoom);}infoWindow.setPosition(e.latLng);infoWindow.open(map);});}declareglobal{interfaceWindow{initMap:()=>void;}}window.initMap=initMap;
Note: Read theguide on using TypeScript and Google Maps.

JavaScript

letmap;letmaxZoomService;letinfoWindow;functioninitMap(){map=newgoogle.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"),{zoom:11,center:{lat:35.6894,lng:139.692},mapTypeId:"hybrid",});infoWindow=newgoogle.maps.InfoWindow();maxZoomService=newgoogle.maps.MaxZoomService();map.addListener("click",showMaxZoom);}functionshowMaxZoom(e){maxZoomService.getMaxZoomAtLatLng(e.latLng,(result)=>{if(result.status!=="OK"){infoWindow.setContent("Error in MaxZoomService");}else{infoWindow.setContent("The maximum zoom at this location is: "+result.zoom,);}infoWindow.setPosition(e.latLng);infoWindow.open(map);});}window.initMap=initMap;
Note: The JavaScript is compiled from the TypeScript snippet.

CSS

/* * Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div element * that contains the map. */#map{height:100%;}/* * Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */html,body{height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;}

HTML

<html>  <head>    <title>Maximum Zoom Imagery Service</title>    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./style.css" />    <script type="module" src="./index.js"></script>  </head>  <body>    <div></div>    <!--       The `defer` attribute causes the script to execute after the full HTML      document has been parsed.
