Google Maps API v3: Can I setZoom after fitBounds?

Question

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

Answer 1

I use:

gmap.setZoom(24); //this looks a high enough zoom value
gmap.fitBounds(bounds); //now the fitBounds should make the zoom value only less

This will use the smaller of 24 and the necessary zoom level according to your code, however it probably changes the zoom anyway and doesn't care about how much you zoomed out.
