[Google Maps API v3] initialize and bounds

[David Giglio]

I'm getting the hang of this, but am confused about when I can use certain 
functions. For instance, why does bounds here return undefined? It seems like I 
have to wait for the map to fully appear, but I don't understand...does the map 
loading completely trigger an event I can use to put my code after?

function initialize(lat,lng,zoom){
        
        var centerLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng);
                         
        var myOptions = {
                zoom: zoom,
                center: centerLatLng,
                mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN
        }
        
        var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("main_map"), 
myOptions);
        
        alert(map.getBounds());
        
}
