I can think of two options: 1. store your preferred center and zoom level or bounds in a column in the FusionTable, query for it and use it when you display the map. 2. query the fusion table for the geometry column associated with the district being displayed, parse the kml, find the bounds of that polygon and use that as an argument to fitBounds. You could also vote for this issue: http://code.google.com/p/fusion-tables/issues/detail?id=298 or create an enhancement request to let you do that (but that may not happen quickly). -- Larry > > The fact is, I'm a coding novice who relies on a lot of trial and > error using the snippets I find online.
