Instead of writing that kind of animation, I would recommend trying BOUNCE animation. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#Animation I like it even better for similar purpose.
You can also file a feature request for that 'hesitating growing' animation http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/entry?template=Maps%20API%20v3%20-%20Feature%20Request -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
