f         


        

Answer 1

you could use global variables or return the values in an array for instance:

global variables method:

lat = "";
lng = "";

function get_address() {
    var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder()

    geocoder.geocode({ address: "SE-17270 Sverige"}, 
    function(locResult) {

    lat = locResult[0].geometry.location.lat();
    lng = locResult[0].geometry.location.lng();
    alert(lat);
    alert(lng);
    })
}

array method:

function get_address() {
    var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder()

    geocoder.geocode({ address: "SE-17270 Sverige"}, 
    function(locResult) {

    var lat = locResult[0].geometry.location.lat();
    var lng = locResult[0].geometry.location.lng();

    thearray = [];
    thearray.push(lat);
    thearray.push(lng);
    return thearray;
    })
}
