It may be desirable for you to control the camera's pan, maximum altitude, or to create latitude and longitude boundaries restricting a user's movement in a given map. You can do this using camera restrictions.

The following example shows a map with location boundaries set to limit the camera's movement:

Restrict map bounds

You can restrict the geographical boundaries of the camera by setting the bounds option.

The following code sample demonstrates restricting the map bounds:

async function init() {
  const { Map3DElement, MapMode } = await google.maps.importLibrary("maps3d");

  const map = new Map3DElement({
    center: { lat: 37.7704, lng: -122.3985, altitude: 500 },
    tilt: 67.5,
    mode: MapMode.HYBRID,
    bounds: {south: 37, west: -123, north: 38, east: -121}
  });

init();
}
Restrict the camera

You can restrict the movement of the camera by setting any of the following options:

The following code sample demonstrates restricting the camera:

async function init() {
  const { Map3DElement, MapMode } = await google.maps.importLibrary("maps3d");

  const map = new Map3DElement({
    center: { lat: 37.7704, lng: -122.3985, altitude: 500 },
    tilt: 67.5,
    mode: MapMode.HYBRID,
    minAltitude: 1,
    maxAltitude: 1000,
    minTilt: 35,
    maxTilt: 55
  });

 document.body.append(map);
}

init();
Restrict map and camera bounds

You can simultaneously restrict both map and camera bounds. The following code sample demonstrates restricting both map and camera boundaries:

async function init() {
  const { Map3DElement, MapMode } = await google.maps.importLibrary("maps3d");

  const map = new Map3DElement({
    center: { lat: 37.7704, lng: -122.3985, altitude: 500 },
    tilt: 67.5,
    mode: MapMode.HYBRID,
    minAltitude: 1,
    maxAltitude: 1000,
    minTilt: 35,
    maxTilt: 55,
    bounds: {south: 37, west: -123, north: 38, east: -121}
  });

 document.body.append(map);
}

init();
