Google Maps Api v3 - getBounds is undefined
Solution 1:
In the early days of the v3 API, the getBounds() method required the map tiles to have finished loading for it to return correct results. However now it seems that you can listen to bounds_changed event, which is fired even before the tilesloaded event:

<body>
<div id="map" style="width: 500px; height: 350px;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
zoom: 12,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(55.755327, 37.622166),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'bounds_changed', function() {
alert(map.getBounds());
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Solution 2:
It should be working, atleast according to the documentation for getBounds(). Nevertheless:
var gMap;
$(document).ready(function() {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(55.755327, 37.622166);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 12,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
gMap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("GoogleMapControl"), myOptions);
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(gMap, 'idle', function(){
alert(this.getBounds());
});
});
See it working here.
