How to set zoom level in google map
What you're looking for are the scales for each zoom level. The numbers are in metres. Use these:
20 : 1128.497220
19 : 2256.994440
18 : 4513.988880
17 : 9027.977761
16 : 18055.955520
15 : 36111.911040
14 : 72223.822090
13 : 144447.644200
12 : 288895.288400
11 : 577790.576700
10 : 1155581.153000
9 : 2311162.307000
8 : 4622324.614000
7 : 9244649.227000
6 : 18489298.450000
5 : 36978596.910000
4 : 73957193.820000

1 : 591657550.500000
map.setZoom(zoom:number)
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#Map
Your code below is zooming the map to fit the specified bounds:
addMarker(27.703402,85.311668,'New Road');
center = bounds.getCenter();
map.fitBounds(bounds);
If you only have 1 marker and add it to the bounds, that results in the closest zoom possible:
function addMarker(lat, lng, info) {
var pt = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
bounds.extend(pt);
}
If you keep track of the number of markers you have "added" to the map (or extended the bounds with), you can only call fitBounds if that number is greater than one. I usually push the markers into an array (for later use) and test the length of that array.
If you will only ever have one marker, don't use fitBounds. Call setCenter
, setZoom
with the marker position and your desired zoom level.
function addMarker(lat, lng, info) {
var pt = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
map.setCenter(pt);
map.setZoom(your desired zoom);
}
