edit: My question is actually a duplicate of this: google maps v3: center of bounds is different from center of the map
I try to extract the center point of the bounds of a google map. Later I want to reposition the map by this center-point. However the map slightly shifts in north-south-direction.
Am I missing something here? In the plunkr you can see how the map shifts after the panTo()-Call, although it is the exact center as retreived from the map.
