Newbie to Stack Overflow posting/novice with Maps API - so I do not have enough "reputation" to post more than 2 links
Working on a Google Maps API that accesses a Fusion Table (public setting) -
https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=13H4lBUCA1z_mdCJEyCalF0AKgIDtr_C7lIZzQ6D6
Would like it to zoom to the results of a query to the layer generated from a side bar menu. Have seen various examples/experimented with working from them as a starting point (looked at various posts here). In all cases/different examples I have modified/adapted, I can get the layer to appear and respond to the various queries, but not to zoom in(even tried modifying the table to include a column like the example as a test)
Current example (mentioned in several threads here - thank you geocodezip!) I am working from is
http://www.geocodezip.com/www_vciregionmap_comC.html
Keep getting a parsing error - "Error in query: Could not parse query" - pretty sure it is in the syntax on how I am setting up the query ...
Using JEditey in Google Drive (Mac/Chrome) - Example Runs fine on that basis when I copied it over
Javascript file (separate):
var FT_TableID = "13H4lBUCA1z_mdCJEyCalF0AKgIDtr_C7lIZzQ6D6"; // 1288005; // 1200417;
// geocoded addresses with the spreadsheet geocoder:

column-names are case-sensitive.
You use
Latitude
andLongitude
inside the query, but the names are lowercase:latitude
&longitude
