Google Map fitBounds makes the map be in the ocean :)

I have this page where I have a listing of items per state. If I try to do 

map.fitBounds(bounds);

Then the map suddenly shifts to the ocean. What I wanted it to do was to fit around the area of the markers.

Here is the test page for this:

Any idea what is going wrong?

Thanks!

When you initialize bounds at the end of initializeTerrain there are no markers on the map. Therefore it defaults to that spot in the Pacific when you later call map.fitBounds(bounds). You need to extend the bounds after each of the markers are added.

var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng( 32.533470 , -87.786118 );
bound.extend(myLatlng);

...repeat for each marker.

should do the trick

that location is the center of the map, probably meaning that the location wasn't found. Maybe an incorrect syntax somewhere?
