Google Maps v3: Enforcing min. zoom level when using fitBounds

Question

I\'m drawing a series of markers on a map (using v3 of the maps api).

In v2, I had the following code:

  bounds = new GLatLngBounds();

  ... loop th

Without trying it, I'd say you should be able to do it just by having fitBounds() before you get the zoom level, i.e.

map.fitBounds(bounds);
var zoom = map.getZoom();
map.setZoom(zoom > 6 ? 6 : zoom);

If you did try that and it didn't work, you can setup your map with minZoom in the MapOptions ^{(api-reference)} like this:

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), { minZoom: 6 });

This would keep the map from zooming any further out when using fitBounds().
