Attribute reference

Centre and address

Either the center or the address attribute is required. If you provide both, the centre coordinates will be used for the map centre, but directions will use the street address. (This will prevent directions from telling people how to get to the destination opposite yours!)

Common

  • gesturehandling

    Control how the API handles gestures on the map, including touch gestures, dragging, and the scroll wheel. From [cooperative, greedy, auto, none]; default cooperative.

    Cooperative means that the scroll wheel does not zoom the map without also holding down the ctrl key or ⌘ key, and dragging on touch devices requires two fingers.

    Greedy means that all touch and scroll events work.

    Auto means that the Maps API chooses whether to use greedy or cooperative based on the page size.
