Can I zoom in on a google map marker

I don't have any sample code. But I believe this can be done with GMap2.setCenter method.

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/reference.html#GMap2.setCenter

I was really wanting the map marker to show the bubble and centre on it when selecting the corresponding letter
Can this be done  ?

I'm speaking only on theory here, I haven't tried this myself. I think its possible with setCenter.
I assume you already know the geo location of the pointer, so simply call setCenter with that position and the zoom level you want.

map.setCenter(new GLatLng(lat, lon), 10);

Select allOpen in new window

the mapcentering appears to get rid of existing markers on the map
and simply create a new one.

@leakim971 the markers are off the map , the sample you sent was on map (i think)

line 347 to 349 replace :

                        GEvent.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
                            marker.openInfoWindowHtml(locdesc);
                        }); 

Select allOpen in new window

by :

				GEvent.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
					map.setCenter(marker.getLatLng(), 14); // 14 is the zoom
					marker.openInfoWindowHtml(locdesc);
				}); 

Select allOpen in new window

thanks but this is "in map clicking" ,it  looks great but need this to happen from a click outside the map take a look at this link http://offers.ftvdirect.co.uk/list.asp

you will see what i mean , links on the left outside the map.

im sorry if im missing the obvious here. If I can call the function from outside the map can you show me what im missing

>a look at this link http://offers.ftvdirect.co.uk/list.asp

yes, but please confirm it don't work

yes when the user click on "A" inside the map it centers and shows the box, (thanks for that)

my initial request was when the user clicks on the left hand side markers (out of map)
the map zooms into that marker

can this be done or am i missing the point?

great thanks

yes thats superb , anyway to popup the info box on the marker or am i asking too much

not with your current code because your sidebar and markers are currently in different world
