  • Maybe you want to clarify what you mean by "nothing works"? – Drunix Mar 13 '14 at 19:56
  • Sorry.. what I mean is that , I have set "zoom" from 1 to 20 with no change, center from Worcester ( where it's set now ) to London , Tokyo, with no change , title , nothing. I thought that center , zoom and mapType were required ?? Help – user3416835 Mar 13 '14 at 20:16

    [works for me (fiddle)](http://jsfiddle.net/z6h7A/1/), I think you want preserveViewport:true – geocodezip Mar 13 '14 at 20:20
  • You have no any options defined. All is commented out. – Anto Jurković Mar 13 '14 at 20:21

Set preserveViewport to true, otherwise the KmlLayer will zoom to fit its contents.

    var kmlLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer({
        url: "http://mapsengine.google.com/map/kml?mid=zHTaYadv8Mrs.kHqpg6p0mrlk&lid=zHTaYadv8Mrs.khlpCJFyVigQ",
        suppressInfoWindows: true,
        preserveViewport:true,
        map: map
    });


function initialize() {
    var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(42.2625932, -71.8022934);
    // zoomControl:false,
    // zoom: 18,
    // Title: "Mass Districts",
    //  center: myLatlng
    var mapOptions = {
        zoomControl: false,
        zoom: 11,
        title: "Mass Districts",
        center: myLatlng
    };
    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);


    var kmlLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer({
        url: "http://mapsengine.google.com/map/kml?mid=zHTaYadv8Mrs.kHqpg6p0mrlk&lid=zHTaYadv8Mrs.khlpCJFyVigQ",
        suppressInfoWindows: true,
        preserveViewport:true,
        map: map
    });

    google.maps.event.addListener(kmlLayer, 'click', function (kmlEvent) {
        var text = kmlEvent.featureData.description;
        showInContentWindow(text);
    });

    function showInContentWindow(text) {
        var sidediv = document.getElementById('content-window');
        sidediv.innerHTML = text;
    }
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
