At some point, a feature of the geocoder will give a "suggested" bounding box for a resulting geocode, so you could geocode each city and use the resulting bounding box to figure a zoom using. When this feature will become live is unknown.
An alternative that might avoid some potential conflicts with the Google geocoder terms is to download the city shape file from the census (US only) and compute a bounding box from the data. This wouldn't be complex but if you've not worked with shapefiles before, potentially daunting. Also, there's no guarantee that every city you may want to display is in the database, nor any guarantee the data is correct. There are no terms attached though, so you can use the data any way you desire. There may be others with better suggestions. -John Coryat http://maps.huge.info http://www.usnaviguide.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
