This example creates a map of metropolitan Tokyo. If the user clicks on the map, a popup window indicates the maximum zoom level at that location.

Read the documentation.

TypeScript

let map: google.maps.Map;
let maxZoomService: google.maps.MaxZoomService;
let infoWindow: google.maps.InfoWindow;

function initMap(): void {
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map") as HTMLElement, {
    zoom: 11,
    center: { lat: 35.6894, lng: 139.692 },
    mapTypeId: "hybrid",
  });

  infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();

  maxZoomService = new google.maps.MaxZoomService();

  map.addListener("click", showMaxZoom);
}

function showMaxZoom(e: google.maps.MapMouseEvent) {
  maxZoomService.getMaxZoomAtLatLng(
    e.latLng as google.maps.LatLng,
    (result: google.maps.MaxZoomResult) => {
      if (result.status !== "OK") {
        infoWindow.setContent("Error in MaxZoomService");
      } else {
        infoWindow.setContent(
          "The maximum zoom at this location is: " + result.zoom
        );
      }

      infoWindow.setPosition(e.latLng);
      infoWindow.open(map);
    }
  );
}

declare global {
  interface Window {
    initMap: () => void;
  }
}
window.initMap = initMap;
Note: Read the guide on using TypeScript and Google Maps.

JavaScript

let map;
let maxZoomService;
let infoWindow;

function initMap() {
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
    zoom: 11,
    center: { lat: 35.6894, lng: 139.692 },
    mapTypeId: "hybrid",
  });
  infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
  maxZoomService = new google.maps.MaxZoomService();
  map.addListener("click", showMaxZoom);
}

function showMaxZoom(e) {
  maxZoomService.getMaxZoomAtLatLng(e.latLng, (result) => {
    if (result.status !== "OK") {
      infoWindow.setContent("Error in MaxZoomService");
    } else {
      infoWindow.setContent(
        "The maximum zoom at this location is: " + result.zoom,
      );
    }

    infoWindow.setPosition(e.latLng);
    infoWindow.open(map);
  });
}

window.initMap = initMap;
Note: The JavaScript is compiled from the TypeScript snippet.

CSS

/* 
 * Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div element
 * that contains the map. 
 */
#map {
  height: 100%;
}

/* 
 * Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. 
 */
html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

Upon initialization, the map is centered on Tokyo with a zoom level of 11. When a user clicks on the map, the `MaxZoomService` determines the maximum zoom level at that specific location.
