Question

How can I best zoom to group of points in google maps api v2? In api v3 I would use bounds object to store the points and then zoom to these bounds using fitBounds() function, but in v2 I really don’t know.

I found some advice here, but the solution of writing custom function seems quite clumsy…

Try this mini tutorial, it sounds like what you want:

http://econym.org.uk/gmap/basic14.htm

var bounds = new GLatLngBounds();
for (... each point ...) {
    bounds.extend(latlng); 
}
map.setZoom(map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds));
map.setCenter(bounds.getCenter());
