Does anyone know if it is possible within Thunkable to scale a Google map using the “bounds” properties returned by Google maps API’s like the directions JSON response. This provides bounds properties for northeast and southwest. I would like to be able to scale my maps based on these properties. Can it be done?

Can anyone on [@thunkable\_staff](https://community.thunkable.com/groups/thunkable_staff) comment on this?

I’ve used the “bounds” properties to define a map area. And since there’s a zoom value associated with maps in Thunkable, I’m going to assume it’s possible.

Hi Tatiang. Are you saying that Thunkable supports the bounds property. If so can you tell me where I find it please.

My apologies… I was thinking I had used a bounding box with Google Maps but I actually had used it with the [PurpleAir API](https://api.purpleair.com/). I realize that doesn’t help you!

No problem. Maybe it’s something thunkable\_staff could consider adding?
