• Hey Dan,
  I think that you can zoom into a specific level by settin latitudeDelta and longitudeDelta ex:

  var mapview = Titanium.Map.createView({
      mapType: Titanium.Map.STANDARD_TYPE,
      region: {latitude:45.46411, longitude:9.19193, latitudeDelta:0.05, longitudeDelta:0.05}, 
      animate:true, 
      regionFit:true,
      userLocation:true
  });
  
  win2.add(mapview);
  

• Thanks for that Nicolo, a little stuck on how to impliment that at the moment. I have a click listener setup for a button as the map already exists and is displayed. My code is something like:

  mapView.region = {latitude:mapLatitude, longitude:mapLongitude, latitudeDelta:0.05, longitudeDelta:0.05};
  mapView.animate = true;
  

  But I get the useful 'stopped unexpectedly' error message. Have I set the variable wrong in here, I tried several variations, but didn't hit upon one that did the trick.

• Still having difficulty with this, anyone got some advice on what I could try next?

• I haven't tested it, but you could try setting the region back to its original setting.

• Don, sadly that still gave me the 'stopped unexpectedly' error. I tried putting the below within the click handler:

  mapOverlayLink.addEventListener('click',function(e)
  {
      Titanium.API.info("Latitude: " + mapLatitude);
      Titanium.API.info("Longitude: " + mapLongitude);
      var mapWindow = Ti.UI.createWindow({title:'Map'});
  
      var mapView = Titanium.Map.createView({
          mapType: Titanium.Map.STANDARD_TYPE,
          region: {latitude:50, longitude:0, latitudeDelta:0.001, longitudeDelta:0.001}, 
          animate:true, 
          regionFit:true,
          userLocation:true
      });
      mapWindow.add(mapView);
      mapWindow.open();
  
  });
  

  The region setting are identical to the ones initially used when the map is created in the first place, but errors when I try to run it again as an update.

• Haha, got it today, it wasn't region which I needed to use, it was location. Not sure I quite get the difference between the 2, but this one appears to work nicely.

  mapView.location = {latitudeDelta:0.05, longitudeDelta:0.05};
  

  Although sadly it seems to only run it once, if I were to then zoom out again, it wont rerun for some reason.

• Hey Dan ,
  I think that if u have a click listener set up for a button u have to redeclare the mapview variable try this:

  button.addEventListener('click',function(e)
          {
  var w = Ti.UI.createWindow({title:'Map'});
  var mapview = Titanium.Map.createView({
  mapType: Titanium.Map.STANDARD_TYPE,
  region: {
  latitude:mapLatitude, 
  longitude:mapLongitude, 
  latitudeDelta:0.05,
  longitudeDelta:0.05}, 
  animate:true, 
  regionFit:true,
  userLocation:true
       });
  w.add(mapview);
  w.open();
          });
  

• Hi Nicolo, gave that a go this morning, and sadly I am getting the same error message coming up:

  mapOverlayLink.addEventListener('click',function(e)
  {
      Titanium.API.info("Latitude: " + mapLatitude);
      Titanium.API.info("Longitude: " + mapLongitude);
      var mapWindow2 = Ti.UI.createWindow({title:'Map'});
  
      var mapView2 = Titanium.Map.createView({
          mapType: Titanium.Map.STANDARD_TYPE,
          region: {latitude:mapLatitude, longitude:mapLongitude, latitudeDelta:0.05, longitudeDelta:0.05}, 
          animate:true, 
          regionFit:true,
          userLocation:true
      });
      mapWindow2.add(mapView2);
      mapWindow2.open();
  
  });
  

  The Lat/Long variables are populated so I don't think that is the issue (although I did also test with hard numbers, and still got the error). The view is also identical pretty much to how it was added originally (otherthan the number 2 on the variable name).

  The window display if empty, so it's to do with the map somehow, is it that I need to close the other mapView first do you think, if so, how to I do that, is it just .close()?
