Maximum Lat and Long bounds for the world – Google Maps API LatLngBounds()

The links provided by @Marcelo & @Doc are good for understanding the derivation of the Lat Lng:

But if you just want an answer for the maximum bounds for Google Maps:

Latitude: -85 to +85 (actually -85.05115 for some reason)

Longitude: -180 to +180

Try it for yourself on the Google Maps:

(You may need to Zoom Out. See how the pin is at the “edge” of the world – these are the limits)

So in your code Try:

var strictBounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(
    new google.maps.LatLng(85, -180),           // top left corner of map
    new google.maps.LatLng(-85, 180)            // bottom right corner
);

Please edit this wiki (or update your question) once you have the answer. Thanks
