How to center a Google Map to a latitude and longitude location?

Consider the following code:

$('.stores').click(function() {
    console.log($(this).data('latitude'));  // -1754.26265626
    console.log($(this).data('longitude')); // 65.262518
    console.log(themap); // Properly a Google Map instance.

    themap.setCenter(new LatLng($(this).data('latitude'), $(this).data('longitude')));
});

According to the documentation, I can use the setCenter method and easily center the map, but I don't understand the notation the docs are using.

See:

LatLng(lat:number, lng:number, noWrap?:boolean)

How exactly do I use this?

I'm getting the error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: LatLng is not defined

You have to use 

themap.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng($(this).data('latitude'), $(this).data('longitude')));

All Google Maps javascript classes are referenced with the google.maps.ClassName() notation
