How to zoom at particular point in google maps added to uiwebview?

I have google maps added to UIWebview. I want to zoom the map to destination location. Destination location is passed programmatically.

How do I do it? I tried setting parameter z=10 while loading google maps url but it doesn't zoom at particular point.

Please help

Why you dont use MapKit?

It uses google map to provide the map.

if you really want to use google maps inside an webview you will need to do something like that:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=24.197611,120.780512&z=10

where q=latitude,longitude

and you will need to know the latitude and longitude of the point you want to zoom

for more informations you can look at:

In that case, I guess I won't be able to add get directions, as I need get directions as well :( – iOSDev Mar 27 '12 at 02:18
If you talk more about what you want to do, maybe I can help you more than that. I really believe if you use the mapkit you will can do what you want. – ggrana Mar 27 '12 at 02:25
I want to highlight destination and set zoom level. And also from my start location I would have get directions to destination. – iOSDev Mar 27 '12 at 04:02
