zoom does not effected, when use GoogleMap(zoom=x, ...) with zoom params..

[kitlycol@…]

In the google map template js file( django/contrib/gis/templates/gis/google/js/google-map.js)

map.setCenter(bounds.getCenter(), map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds))

should be changed to:

map.setCenter(bounds.getCenter(), {{ zoom }})

otherwise when use GoogleMap(zoom=x, ...) with zoom params, zoom does not effected actually .

The problem here is that you're not specifying a coordinate pair to center the zoom at. When no default zoom level and center coordinate is provided, and overlays are passed in (e.g., via the polygons, polylines or markers keywords), then the default behavior is to calculate an appropriate zoom level in the JavaScript. Thus, all you need to do is:

GoogleMap(zoom=x, center=(longitude, latitude), ...)

That is right .
