You'll need to define your "acceptable area" somehow, whether you
choose a simple rectangular bounds or a more complex polygon defined
by a series of lat/longs.
Then you can test if any proposed locations fall within it.
Testing bounds is a simple comparison, testing 'point in polygon'
requires an algorithm which is often mentioned here.
One of Larry's examples -

This defines your map initial view
           var myOptions = {
                'zoom': <?php echo $zoom; ?>,
                'center': center,
No like it, change it to your choice.

If you want the viewer to be unable to move the view outside of some
chosen area, you'll find postings about that e.g.

Write some code to do that at the end of your geocoding routine.


>     if ($country=='United Kingdom') $short_country = 'UK';

What do you need that for?  Start out by reviewing and understanding
the code you have now.
