Default map center and zoom value

These settings define what geographical area your users will see the first time he or she uses the Mapit gadget. Once they start using it, Mapit will remember the user's last zoom level and area.

The default map center could for instance be the position of your company's headquarters, or the center of the city of your main operation. You can find the geographic latitude and longitude position by searching for the correct address in Mapit (if you've set it up already), or searching in OpenStreetMap or other map sources such as Google Maps or Bing Maps.

The format of the geographic latitude and longitude coordinates must be in decimal degrees (DD), omitting the degree symbol, e.g. 68.12345 or 68,13456.
Latitude coordinates must be in the range -90.0 to 90.0. Longitude coordinates must be in the range -180.0 to 180.0.

Map settings

You can also set the start zoom level for new map users. The zoom level is a numerical value, that approximately corresponds to the following map scales (with examples):

1: 1:20 000 kilometers (world view)
6: 1:200 kilometers (country/part of continent)
11: 1:5 000 meters (large city)
15: 1:300 meters (main street names, landmarks)
18: 1:40 meters (detailed street view with street names/numbers, restaurants, etc.)

The maximum start zoom level you can set is 18, the minimum is 1 (world view).
