Question

I have a textbox in my page which gets a location name and button with text getLat&Long. Now on clicking my button I have to show an alert of latitude

Answer 1

The below is the code that i used. It's working perfectly.

var geo = new google.maps.Geocoder;
geo.geocode({'address':address},function(results, status){
    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {              
        var myLatLng = results[0].geometry.location;

        // Add some code to work with myLatLng              

    } else {
        alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
    }
});

Hope this will help.
