How can I calculate an appropriate zoom level to set in a Google Maps web application based on the accuracy value returned by HTML5 geolocation?
Essentially I want the map zoomed in far enough to show detail, but out far enough to show the area bounded by the accuracy radius (I'm drawing a circle around the centre-point to show the area that the user could be in).
I have found answers relating to using the maps API geocoding location_type but nothing relating to using the HTML5 geolocation accuracy value which is returned in metres.
I get the feeling setBounds might be one way to do it, but that involves converting meters to a new set of LatLng values which I get the feeling can be a bit vague (but maybe not so vague over the distances that the geolocator accuracy is likely to return).
Thanks,
Draw the Circle
and then use the bounds
of the circle as argument for fitBounds
