Hi everyone,

When adding a Map to thunkable, the most zoomed-out value is -15. This isn’t sufficient to show the whole world.  
But still, is this link shared by @jared in the post “Map zoom level for multiple markers”, it seems it should be possible to view the complete world: [google map API zoom range - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9356724/google-map-api-zoom-range)  
Ideally, I would also like to display it in the globe view…

Can you help ?  
Thanks,  
Arthur

I don’t think that’s possible with the Thunkable map component.

You could embed a webviewer and some mapping library like Google maps or from another provider. Then you could achieve the look you’re shooting for.

Hi again @jared ,

The problem I’m having is that embed a webviewer won’t allow me to interact with the map.  
I still need to be able to click on it and get coordinates…

Is there really no way to fully unzoom ? It seems strange as other nocode apps do it…  
Maybe another widget I’m not aware of can do that ?

Thanks,  
Arthur
