Google Maps v3 fitBounds() Zoom too close for single marker

Question

Is there a way to set a max zoom level for fitBounds()? My problem is that when the map is only fed one location, it zooms in as far as it can go, which really

I solved with this chunk, since Google Maps V3 is event driven:

you can tell the API to set back the zoom to a proper amount when the zoom_changed event triggers:

var initial = true
google.maps.event.addListener(map, "zoom_changed", function() {
    if (intial == true){
       if (map.getZoom() > 11) {
         map.setZoom(11);
         intial = false;
       }
    }
}); 

I used intial make the map not zooming too much loading when the eventual fitBounds permorfed, without it any zoom event over 11 would be impossible for the user.
