fitbounds

Goal : I want to have a custom search (geocode) function and be able to list and click each result and display it on the map. Wanted : Adjust map bounds / zoom level accordingly, i.e. searching for "MA, USA" should zoom the map to let me see the whole Massachusetts state, while searching for "Boston, MA, USA" should zoom on the Boston area. When listing multiple results, the same should apply when clicking on a result. Issue : I can use the geometry.bounds object with fitBounds - but - some results you get using the geocoder do not have that geometry.bounds object. A quick example: searching

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 takes the map out of context and renders it useless. Perhaps I am taking the wrong approach? Thanks in advance! I like mrt's solution (especially when you don't know how many points you will be mapping or adjusting for), except it throws the marker off so that it isn't in the center of the map anymore. I simply extended it by an additional point subtracting .01 from the lat and lng as well, so it keeps the marker in the center. Works

I have a map which contains multiple markers with infowindows. The infowindows need to be open on page load. The map is being centered using setbounds to incorporate all of the markers, which works, but it also needs to include the infowindows within the bounds. Currently the infowindows are cropped in places. JS: function initialize() { var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas')); var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(); var myLatlng1 = new google.maps.LatLng(51.525209,-0.09402479999994284) var contentString1 = '<div class="map-content"><p>Test1<br/ >dsfasdf<br/

I'm using the geocoder from Google API v3 to display a map of a country. I get the recommended viewport for the country but when I want to fit the map to this viewport, it does not work (see the bounds before and after calling the fitBounds function in the code below). What am I doing wrong? How can I set the viewport of my map to results[0].geometry.viewport ? var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); geocoder.geocode( {'address': '{{countrycode}}'}, function(results, status) { var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(); bounds = results[0].geometry.viewport; console.log(bounds); // ((35

I have a set of points I want to plot on an embedded Google Map (API v3). I'd like the bounds to accommodate all points unless the zoom level is too low (i.e., zoomed out too much). My approach has been like this: var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(); // extend bounds with each point gmap.fitBounds(bounds); gmap.setZoom( Math.max(6, gmap.getZoom()) ); This doesn't work. The last line "gmap.setZoom()" doesn't change the zoom level of the map if called directly after fitBounds. Is there a way to get the zoom level of a bounds without applying it to the map? Other ideas to solve this? Edit
