Well it did work but not consistently. If I alert() the value of
this.getZoom() in the zoom_changed listener it gives me the correct
value. I save the value in a variable and  when I take it out the alert
() it doesn't give the correct value. It's like it needs to wait 1
millisecond to actually load the correct value after fitbounds is
called. Any suggestions?
