getBoundsZoomLevel - how to use with API v3?

[Pit]

Hey guys.

I started working on a project using the Google Maps API v3 yesterday.
I'm going to use the map as a membermap for a clan cms (webSpell)
based on the mysql-databse. It's working, and I don't get any errors.
But there is one thing: the correct zoom and center location. For
every user (or city, if there are more users in a city) there is a
marker, and I wanted to base the centerlocation and the zoom on all
those markers, using the following script:

function fitMap (map, markers) {
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
for (var _marker in markers) {
bounds.extend(markers[_marker]);
}
map.set_zoom(map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds));
map.set_center(bounds.getCenter());
}

If I open the page, firebug throws out the following error:
map.getBoundsZoomLevel is not a function

So, my question is: how do I use getBoundsZoomLevel with API v3? I
only found it for v2. For the whole script, visit
http://www.apocalyptic-death.de/googlemaps.php (there is no php-code
at all, don't care about the extension). As you might see, I set the
current location by hand that Germany, Austria and Swiss are at least
shown, but thats not perfect. Hope you are able to help me.

There is no map.getBoundsZoomLevel in v3.

There is, however, a map.fitBounds() Method.

Thanks for that. I updated the script, but it does not work/it won't
fit the map. Link again: http://www.apocalyptic-death.de/googlemaps.php

Geocoding is asynchronous.

You attempt to fit the bounds immediately after the geocoding requests
are sent to the server.

Some time later the geocode replies come back, and you extend the
bounds, but by then it's too late.

Thank you very much for the tip, I got it working now.
