[null,null,["Last updated 2023-10-06 UTC."],[],["The `Map.setLocked()` function controls map panning and zooming. Setting `locked` to `true` disables panning. `minZoom` and `maxZoom` (0-24) define zoom limits, applicable whether panning is locked or not. Setting `locked` to `false` with no other parameters resets the map. To allow panning and limit zoom, set `locked` to false with `minZoom` and `maxZoom`. `True` `locked` with `minZoom` and `maxZoom` disallows panning but limits zooming.\n"]]
