Those lat/lng coordinates are fine for the continental US, but if you also need to include Alaska and Hawaii, the center would be closer to 52,-127 (rough approximation, not sure of the exact coordinates, but at that scale it probably doesn't matter much). Also, the zoom level will depend on the size of the map.
A better approach for the continental US would be (rounding the lat/ lng coords, since 6+ digits of precision seem like overkill for such a large area, from the shapefiles available from http://www.gadm.org/world) var bounds = GLatLngBounds(new GLatLng(24.52,-124.77), new GLatLng (49.01,-66.94)); map.setCenter(bounds.getCenter(), map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds)); To include Hawaii, the bounds would need to be extended to include a south west point of (18.90,-164.71). To include Alaska you'd need to determine how much of the state to include, i.e., you might not need to include all of the Aleutian Islands. A north west point of about (71.4,-170) would probably do.
