Google maps auto-fit (auto center & autozoom) doesn't work

Question

I have a problem with a map on which I\'ve used the fitBounds map methods, which should give the proper zoom and center the map giving it a latlon array. here\'

I've updated your fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/KwayW/1/

It works now as expected.

Here's the full code (save this as test.html and open in browser):

<style>#map_canvas { width:500px; height: 400px; }</style>
<script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div id="map_canvas"></div>

<script>
var map;
var markersArray = [];
var image = 'img/';
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
var loc;

function init(){
    var mapOptions = { mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP };
    map =  new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);

    loc = new google.maps.LatLng("45.478294","9.123949");
    bounds.extend(loc);
    addMarker(loc, 'Event A', "active");

    loc = new google.maps.LatLng("50.83417876788752","4.298325777053833");
    bounds.extend(loc);
    addMarker(loc, 'Event B', "active");

    loc = new google.maps.LatLng("41.3887035","2.1807378");
    bounds.extend(loc);
    addMarker(loc, 'Event C', "active");

    map.fitBounds(bounds);
    map.panToBounds(bounds);    
}

function addMarker(location, name, active) {          
    var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
        position: location,
        map: map,
        title: name,
        status: active
    });
}

$(function(){ init(); });
</script>
