Zooming and panning

You can zoom and pan the Google maps layer. Zooming helps you get a closer look at a particular area on a map for in-depth analysis. Panning helps you to move a map around to focus the targeted area.

Adding markers and navigation line

Markers can be added to the layers of Google maps by setting the corresponding location’s coordinates of latitude and longitude using markerSettings property. You can add navigation lines on top of an Google maps layer for highlighting a path among various places by setting the corresponding location’s coordinates of latitude and longitude in the navigationLineSettings property.
