Using setZoom() after using fitBounds() with Google Maps API V3

Question

I\'m using fitBounds() to set the zoom level on my map too include all the markers currently displayed. However, when I have only one marker visible, the zoom level is 100%

Answer 1

All the solutions with event listeners didn't work for me (this.getZoom() always is undefined in the callback and this.setZoom() has no effect).

I came up with this solution which worked nicely:

function set_zoom() {
    if(map.getZoom()) {map.setZoom(map.getZoom() - 1);}
    else {setTimeout(set_zoom, 5);}
}
setTimeout(set_zoom, 5);
