If you want to center map onto a marker and you have the cordinate  something like click on a list item and the map should center on that coordinate then the following code will work   In HTML    lt ul class  locationList  ng-repeat  LocationDetail in coordinateArray  orderBy  LocationName   gt      lt li gt         lt div ng-click  focusMarker LocationDetail   gt             lt strong gt  lt div ng-bind  locationDetail LocationName  gt  lt  div gt  lt  strong gt             lt div ng-bind  locationDetail AddressLine  gt  lt  div gt             lt div ng-bind  locationDetail State  gt  lt  div gt             lt div ng-bind  locationDetail City  gt  lt  div gt         lt div gt      lt  li gt   lt  ul gt    In Controller    scope focusMarker   function  coords        map setCenter new google maps LatLng coords Latitude  coords Longitude        map setZoom 14       Location Object          Name    Taj Mahal        AddressLine    Tajganj        City    Agra        State    Uttar Pradesh        PhoneNumber    1234 12344        Latitude    27 173891        Longitude    78 042068

Once you have markers on the map  you can retrieve the Lat Long coordinates through the API and use this to set the map s center  You ll first just need to determine which marker you wish to center on - I ll leave that up to you       marker  refers to the Marker object you wish to center on  var latLng   marker getPosition       returns LatLng object map setCenter latLng      setCenter takes a LatLng object   Info windows are separate objects which are typically bound to a marker  so to open the info window you might do something like this  however it will depend on your code    var infoWindow   marker infoWindow     retrieve the InfoWindow object infoWindow open map      Trigger the  open    method   Hope this helps

may be this will help   map setCenter window markersArray 2  getPosition       all the markers info are in markersArray array and it is global  So you can access it from anywhere using window variablename  Each marker has a unique id and you can put that id in the key of array  so you create marker like this   window markersArray 2    new google maps Marker               position  new google maps LatLng 23 81927  90 362349                         map  map              title   your info                   Hope this will help

To build upon  6twenty s answer   I prefer panTo LatLng  over setCenter LatLng  as panTo animates for smoother transition to center  if the change is less than both the width and height of the map   https   developers google com maps documentation javascript reference Map  The below uses Google Maps API v3   var marker   new google maps Marker       position  new google maps LatLng latitude  longitude       title  markerTitle      map  map      google maps event addListener marker   click   function          map panTo marker getPosition           map setCenter marker getPosition        sets center without animation
