Animate zoom to google map location on click(custom google maps controls)
<p>I want to have google map displaying whole planet(zoomed out maximally). Then, I would like to put overlay over map with button. When user click on button the overlay is removed and google map is automatically animating to the location i want. </p>

<p>So, I am not asking for complete solution, I just want you to tell me if it's possible to do that using google map js api, and if you can give me some direction, that would be awesome. I have searched a lot but found nothing on this subject. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
