Center / Zoom Scatter Map
Introduction
The following article will explain how to center and zoom scatter map.
Purpose/Benefits
This script allows you to center and zoom a map according to a given latitude and longitude.
Example
In the Example below we want to center the map to China and set the zoom to 8.
Steps
Step 1 - Find latitude and longitude
You can find the latitude and longitude using google maps
Search for and get coordinates
Step 2 - Add widget script
/********************************************************/
/********Set and Center a Map**********/
/********************************************************/
__first_load__ = true;
widget.on("beforeviewloaded", function (widget, args){
var map = args.options.map;
window.map = map;
});
widget.on("domready", function (widget, args){
if (__first_load__){
setTimeout(function () { window.map.setView([39, 116], 8);}, 500);
}
__first_load__ = false;
});

Hi Claire,
Haven't tested that yet, but maybe this will solve the issue - https://support.sisense.com/entries/98577227-Auto-Zoom-Scatter-Map

Please note that the original script might have trouble supporting multiple centered maps in the same dashboard.
For multi-map support, please use the following syntax instead:
widget['__first_load__'] = true;
widget.on("beforeviewloaded", function (w, args){
var map = args.options.map;
window['map_'+w.oid] = map;
});
widget.on("domready", function (w, args){
if (widget['__first_load__'] ){
setTimeout(function () { window['map_'+w.oid].setView([39, 116], 8);}, 1000);
}
widget['__first_load__'] = false;
} ); -
I have pieced together the following script which can be added into the 'edit script' for an area map.
After originally trying to achieve the 'auto-zoom' after applying filters etc it was unstable - because it was based on listening for Leaflet's 'zoomend' event, and in some scenarios it would keep zooming in and out recursively.
I settled for a center icon overlaid on the top right of the map.. once you have applied any filters or panned around and want to re-center on the current data, click the icon.
Hope it works for you too!

Hi All,
Glad to announce we've developed a few advanced maps based off of Deck.gl for visualisations of large data sets,
With these maps you can tailor suit your specifications onto any available layer, as well as combine a few layers to further enhance your mapping requirements:
More to come soon!
