If 'bounds_changed' is not firing correctly (sometimes Google doesn't seem to accept coordinates perfectly), then consider using 'center_changed' instead.

The 'center_changed' event fires every time fitBounds() is called, although it runs immediately and not necessarily after the map has moved.

In normal cases, 'idle' is still the best event listener, but this may help a couple people running into weird issues with their fitBounds() calls.
