Custom Zoom Level

This option will set the zoom level of the Map when it is first loaded.

In the JSON section of the stylesheet, you will need to add an object with the key "zoom".

This object will accept 2 values which in each expect a number between 4 and -4.
Default is used for larger screens such as a browser or Kiosk.
Mobile is used for smaller devices which run a Mobile OS, such as iOS or Android.

Open

Custom Position

This option will allow the map to be loaded with a custom area centred on the screen.
This can be useful for larger campus maps where the focus needs to set off from the Map image centre.

In the JSON section of the stylesheet, you will need to add an object with the key "position".

This object will accept 2 values (x, y) which both expect a number.

x is the horizontal coordinate value.
y is the vertical coordinate value.
