Zooming my KML layer using API v3

[Gordon Banks]

I am using this initialization of my map. I would like my map to come into my "map-container" zoomed in more (maybe 16 zoom). Where can I add this zoom parameter? Is this possible?

function initialize() {

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-container'), {

  

    }),

    myMapsId = 'zpR-Rs8swcrY.kxIipB_folRg&usp';

  new google.maps

    .KmlLayer({

      map: map,

      url: 'https://www.google.com/maps/d/kml?mid=' + myMapsId

    });

}

google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

Hi Gordon,

take a look at the official Google documentation: for KML Layers: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/layer-kml

the KML layer option "preserveViewport" specifies that the map should not be adjusted to the bounds of the KmlLayer’s contents 

see: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/kmllayer
