Display world map with no repeats

Question

I\'m currently using the Google Maps API for the first time. Essentially I wish to have the map zoomed out so that the whole world is displayed with no overlap (e.g. bits of

Answer 1

Here's a function worldViewFit I like to use:

function initMap() {
	var mapOptions = {
		center: new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0),
		zoom: 1,
		minZoom: 1
	};
	map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('officeMap'), mapOptions);
	google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'idle', function() {
		//Map is ready
		worldViewFit(map);
	});
}

function worldViewFit(mapObj) {
	var worldBounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(
		new google.maps.LatLng(70.4043,-143.5291),	//Top-left
		new google.maps.LatLng(-46.11251, 163.4288)	 //Bottom-right
	);
	mapObj.fitBounds(worldBounds, 0);
	var actualBounds = mapObj.getBounds();
	if(actualBounds.getSouthWest().lng() == -180 && actualBounds.getNorthEast().lng() == 180) {
		mapObj.setZoom(mapObj.getZoom()+1);
	}
}

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

This is the JavaScript I found:

/**
* All locations map scripts
*/
jQuery(function($){

    $(document).ready(function(){
        loadmap();
    });

    function loadmap()
    {
        var locations = wpsl_locator_all.locations;
        var mapstyles = wpsl_locator.mapstyles; 
        var mappin = ( wpsl_locator.mappin ) ? wpsl_locator.mappin : '';
        var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();

        var mapOptions = {
                mapTypeId: 'roadmap',
                mapTypeControl: false,
                zoom: 8,
                styles: mapstyles,
                panControl : false
            }
        if ( wpsl_locator.custom_map_options === '1' )  mapOptions = wpsl_locator.map_options;

        var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(), marker, i;
        var map = new google.maps.Map( document.getElementById('alllocationsmap'), mapOptions );

        // Loop through array of markers & place each one on the map  
        for( i = 0; i < locations.length; i++ ) {
            var position = new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i].latitude, locations[i].longitude);
            bounds.extend(position);

            var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: position,
                map: map,
                title: locations[i].title,
                icon: mappin
            }); 

            // Info window for each marker 
            google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i){
                return function() {
                    infoWindow.setContent(locations[i].infowindow);
                    infoWindow.open(map, marker);
                    wpsl_all_locations_marker_clicked(marker, infoWindow)
                }
            })(marker, i));

            // Center the Map
            map.fitBounds(bounds);
            var listener = google.maps.event.addListener(map, "idle", function() { 
                    if ( locations.length < 2 ) {
                    map.setZoom(13);
                }
                google.maps.event.removeListener(listener); 
            });
        }

        // Fit the map bounds to all the pins
        var boundsListener = google.maps.event.addListener((map), 'bounds_changed', function(event) {
            google.maps.event.removeListener(boundsListener);
        });

        wpsl_all_locations_rendered(map);

    } // loadmap()

});

If you don't want any repeats, you need to control the minimum zoom allowed and the width of your map to be less than or equal to one width of of the base tiles at the minimum zoom level allowed on your map. At zoom zero, one width of the world is a single 256 x 256 pixel tile, each zoom level increases that by a factor of 2.

This will show one width of the map at zoom level 1 (512x512 map-canvas), you can change the height, but the width will need to be 256 at zoom 0, 512 at zoom 1, 1024 at zoom 2, etc:
