Thanks, Eric, thanks Larry. However, that's not what I want to do.
My first problem is to RETRIEVE the size of an AUTOMATICALLY sized InfoWindow, not to specify a size. Also, my second problem is the inverse of what getBoundsZoomLevel does. This function returns the zoom level for some given bounds. What I want to do is to calculate the bounds for a given zoom level. Did this clarify my question?
