Center map on Marker by script in post

I found something like this here;

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/event-simple

The example shows an automated version where the map gets centered back to the marker 3 seconds after the map has been dragged.

Something like this but manually triggerable by an a-link with JS would be great!

This might be the manual solution but seems to rely on named location rather than marker positions…

G’day netspark,

You can get the map object in JavaScript and then ask for its centre coordinates after it loads, then attach an event handler to a button on your post. You’ll need to do this in your own code for now; I don’t have plans to add this as a feature soon.

cheers,
Ross
