    copied!<p>I'm calling getBounds() directly after a call to fitBounds(), and I thought I'd get a valid bound back as the map recenters and zooms to fit the bounds. Unfortunately, getBounds() is returning nil.</p> <p>The code to reproduce this is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;style&gt; #map { width: 800px; height: 400px; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id='map'&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script&gt; var myLatlng1 = new google.maps.LatLng(-38.397, 150.644); var myLatlng2 = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.897, 150.844); var myLatLngBounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(myLatlng1, myLatlng2); var myOptions = { mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, center: new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0), zoom: 0 } var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), myOptions); map.fitBounds(myLatLngBounds); console.log(map.getMapTypeId()); console.log(map.getZoom()); console.log(map.getBounds()); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Is there something I'm missing? I haven't been able to find anything in the docs about this situation. The nearest I get is a note on getBounds that says:</p> <blockquote> <p>If the map is not yet initialized (i.e. the mapType is still null), or center and zoom have not been set then the result is null.</p> </blockquote> <p>Note that getZoom returns undefined, too. Does fitBounds() not set this value?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> I've updated the code with a default zoom and center, as per Marcelo's suggestions.</p>
