How do you set the default zoom level?

    On the www.remarpro.com plugin directory page it says that you can “set your map’s size, location and zoom level according to your exact requirements” in the free version of this plugin. The documentation page does not explain how to do that, however, and there doesn’t appear to be any way to control those details via shortcode or in the plugin configuration itself.

    I have set up a map with pins in Africa, Asia, North America, and Europe but the map’s default view is just North America and I cannot figure out any way to over-ride that. The client for whom this site is being built that showcases your plugin as a major feature wants the whole globe to be visible at once.

    Please explain how to force the map to display a much more zoomed out view so that by default ALL the pins in the map are visible at the same time INSTEAD of just those in North America.

    You can see the page I’m working on at the following URL:

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    For the benefit of Richard and anyone else who may find this post and desire the solution, here it is:

    When the Easy2Map plugin is embedded within a page via shortcode it displays the zoom level last used when adding a pin. The reason I was having such a hard time with this is that many of the pins on the map I was adding did not have a working physical address. For this reason I had to zoom in almost as far as Google Map would go to get the pin in the right geographic location. Because I needed to add several dozen pins it didn’t make sense to zoom out and re-orient the map for optimal display each time.

    If you want the map to show all the pins at once on the same screen and you have pins in almost every continent on earth you have to re-calibrate and center the map after you’re done to get the desired effect.

    Thank you for clarification.
