Thank you...is this possible to do through a function? I'm mainly using example code and don't know quite what the math required would be. I have a "bounds" variable but doing something like "bounds = bounds*1.1" makes the zoom jump out to almost the whole world.
What would the syntax be for expanding slightly a bounds variable?
