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

Like me, if you are not willing to play with listeners, this is a simple solution i came up with: Add a method on map which works strictly according to your requirements like this one :

    map.fitLmtdBounds = function(bounds, min, max){
        if(bounds.isEmpty()) return;
        if(typeof min == "undefined") min = 5;
        if(typeof max == "undefined") max = 15;

        var tMin = this.minZoom, tMax = this.maxZoom;
        this.setOptions({minZoom:min, maxZoom:max});
        this.fitBounds(bounds);
        this.setOptions({minZoom:tMin, maxZoom:tMax});
    }

then you may call map.fitLmtdBounds(bounds) instead of map.fitBounds(bounds) to set the bounds under defined zoom range... or map.fitLmtdBounds(bounds,3,5) to override the zoom range..
