{{LuaApi|group=Interface}}
Chooses which map a map window shows.

<pre>
MapSetMapView(windowName, mapLevel, mapId)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;windowName : <code>string</code> – Name of a MapDisplay window that has been set up with [[API:CreateMapInstance|CreateMapInstance]].
;mapLevel : <code>number</code> – Level of the map, a value from <code>GameDefs.MapLevel</code> (<code>WORLD_MAP</code>, <code>PAIRING_MAP</code>, <code>ZONE_MAP</code>, ...).
;mapId : <code>number</code> – Id of the map at that level, for example a zone id for <code>ZONE_MAP</code>.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* If the window was never passed to [[API:CreateMapInstance|CreateMapInstance]], nothing happens.
* If there is no map for this level and id, the client falls back to its default view (the entry stored under level -1, id 0) when that exists.
* If the client's map data is not loaded, the call does nothing.
* No errors are reported for unknown windows or maps.

== Errors ==
None besides the ''Invalid Parameters'' argument check.

== Example ==
From <code>ea_overheadmapwindow/source/overheadmapwindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
MapSetMapView( "EA_Window_OverheadMapMapDisplay", GameDefs.MapLevel.ZONE_MAP, GameData.Player.zone )
</pre>

From <code>ea_worldmapwindow/source/zoneview.lua</code>:
<pre>
MapSetMapView( "EA_Window_WorldMapZoneViewMapDisplay", EA_Window_WorldMap.currentLevel, EA_Window_WorldMap.currentMap )
</pre>
