Set map bounds in order to be contained inside a given box

[InfoMail InfoMail]

I'd like to set map bounds (i.e. a setZoom + setCenter) in order to be included in a given box.

Let's have a fixed center,

 

function includeBounds(minLat, minLng, maxLat, maxLng) {

 

    var center = new google.maps.LatLng((minLat + maxLat) / 2, (minLng + maxLng) / 2);

    var zoom = someMagicFunction(center, minLat, minLng, maxLat, maxLng);

 

    map.setCenter(center);

    map.setZoom(zoom);

   

    at this point I'd like to have the map centered in 'center' and with a zoom level such

    that map.getBounds() are INCLUDED in the box defined by [minLat, minLng] - [maxLat, maxLng]

}

 

Any idea?

Many thanks in advance!

Check out the google.maps.LatLngBounds object and the google.maps.Map object's fitBounds method.

I'm not sure I'm understanding you right, but I think you may mean you
want the view to be INSIDE your given bounds? Not the standard
fitBounds which gives a view to INCLUDE your bounds.
In which case use fitBounds and then just zoom in by 1 ?
