I created a public map using my Google Map. I want to set a default zoom level, but it is not saved. Is this possible? Also, is it possible to change the list of place markers?
A:
Nothing is saved by a web page. HTML browsing is stateless. If you want to save some information you will need to use similar trick as any other web applications. E.g. putting it in cookie and the setting the zoom level using the information in the cookie when you initial the page.

Now I understand this bit more. In the link that you've embedded, its last parameter is z=nn. You can assign it a different number to set different default zoom level. In general, I usually pan and zoom the map to a desired view. Then click link button to obtain an URL that open map into the same view.

Thanks! Is it possible to rearrange the order of the list of Place markers on the left?

Yes. Under Click My Maps | Edit. You can then rearrange order of items by drag and drop.

A:
Not using API just made a map points using my GMail account and made it public, like the following site: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=112492115201367239282.0004609e0fcc239c4f792&ll=46.81084,-71.217113&spn=0.02056,0.038624&z=15
