Setting a Google Maps viewport to automatically fit pane for locations of (n) markers of various locations?

OK, so after much wrangling, it turns out that the problem was a map's bounds are not the same as a map's bounds after fitBounds() . What happens (I presume), is Google takes the bounds you give it in the fitBounds() method, and then pads them. Every time you send the current bounds to fitBounds() You're not going to fit bounds(x,y), you're going to fit bounds(x+m,y+m) where m = the arbitrary margin.

A possible explanation is that you randomly placed your new marker into the gap of the z-curve. A z-curve recursivley subdivide the map into 4 smaller tiles but that's also the reason why there are gaps between the tiles. A better way would be to use a hilbert curve or a moore curve for map applications.

There is a patented search algorithm covering this issue, I think it is called multidimensional range query in quadtrees. You want to look for Nick's hilbert curce quadtree spatial index blog.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
