error:InvalidValueError: setCenter: not a LatLng or LatLngLiteral: in property lat: not a number

Question

function initAutocomplete() {
    var lat=document.getElementById(\'lat\').value;
    var lng=document.getElementById(\'lng\').value;
    console.log(lat);
    console.l         


        

Answer 1

Same error, slightly different scenario:

I kept getting this error (same as the OP) when trying to use the autocompleted lat/lng to update a map:

    var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
    var geo = place.geometry.location;
    loadMapAt(new google.maps.LatLng(geo.lat, geo.lng));

This "one weird trick" fixed it. Replacing the second line with:

    var geo = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(place.geometry.location));
