how to parse out lat/lng from geocoder results question

[DMacLeod]

I'm receiving lat/lon from geocoder via var coords =
results[0].geometry.location; (example: (27.345, -80.678)
I'm trying to parse out the lat and lon by doing a javascript slice
function. However this does not work. So, I figured I could do
something like: var lat = results[0].geometry.location.lat; However,
this returns: lat function(){return this[a]}. How can I pull the lat
and lng from the results?

thanks

Did you try:
var lat = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
per the documentation:
location: LatLng

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#LatLng

LatLng has a method .lat(), not a property .lat

1. if you're using the geocoder outside of a google map you're in violation of their terms of service.

2. if you're doing it inside a google map, you don't need to parse anything. The location is an object and you can set the map center for example, like this:

map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);

This is all in the official documentation about geocoding, btw.

Try looking at these examples.
