Today, all perma links have same default googlemap zoom (=14).

Not very intuitive for a country :

or ADM1 :
http://www.geonames.org/3030293/

User can already add a zoom parameter :

However, it would be nice to have a default zoom depending on place level. Let's say :

default zoom=4 (Country)
http://www.geonames.org/3017382/index.html?zoom=4

default zoom=6 (ADM1)
http://www.geonames.org/3030293/index.html?zoom=6

default zoom=8 (ADM2)
http://www.geonames.org/2991879/index.html?zoom=8

default zoom=10 (ADM3)
http://www.geonames.org/2997576/index.html?zoom=10

default zoom=12 (ADM4)
http://www.geonames.org/6455179/index.html?zoom=12

Thanks

Hi Christophe

You are right, this makes sense. I have implemented it and also added a higher zoom level for spots 'S'.

Cheers

Thanks Marc for this great addition.

Parameter zoom does not work any more. Is it normal ?

And what about adding a kind of polygon feature similar to this :
