LatLngBounds Array Values

[Chris Macdonald]

I've been trying to pass 5 markers to a map and have the map center around the points but am not able to get it to function for me anymore. This is my first time working with the V3 api so I'm not sure if I've done something wrong as well.

    var lat = new Array();
    var lng = new Array();
    lat[0] = 0;
    lat[1] = 1;
    lat[2] = 2;
    lat[3] = 3;
    lat[4] = 4;
    lat[5] = 5;
    lng[0] = 6;
    lng[1] = 7;
    lng[2] = 8;
    lng[3] = 9;
    lng[4] = 10
    lng[5] = 11;
    for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        var location = new google.maps.LatLng(lat[i], lng[i]);
        var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
            position: location,
            map: map
        });
        var j = i + 1;
        marker.setTitle(j.toString());
        var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(lat[i], lng[i]);
        map.fitBounds(bounds);
      }

Here's is a link: http://174.120.151.156/~crazychr/test2.html

I'm getting the following error message in firebug:

a.lat is not a function
http://maps.gstatic.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/api-3/3/1b/main.js
Line 12

when I try that code, get only 2 markers and it doesn't zoom or center. When I change it to

var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(lat[0], lng[5]);

it displays all 5 but doesn't center or adjust the zoom.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

LatLngBounds(sw?:LatLng, ne?:LatLng) Constructs a rectangle from the
points at its south-west and north-east corners.

That is not a valid call to the constructor for LatLngBounds...

In my old v2 code I had this (not directly, within some other loops, but similiar)

var bounds = new GLatLngBounds();
bounds.extend(point);
map.setCenter(bounds.getCenter(), map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds));

to center it around the points of the map.

I thought that function would select the furthest ne point and furthest sw point from the array value. This would then create the rectangle to show all the values within that.

That code is not the same. If you had done that in v3 it would have
worked.
