Is there any diference between .getPosition() and .lat() .long() methods?

[Daniel Montenegro]

Hi there, Google Maps folks!

Well, this is the question:

Is there any diference between .getPosition() and .lat() .long() methods?

I need to have the marker coordinates on the screen as I click on it. So I thought in a event like this:

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
        document.getElementById('coords').value = marker.getPosition();
    });

To work along such a form:

<input type="textbox" id="coords">

But unfortunnelly, Firebug is giving me a message error, saying that marker is not defined.

Any help would be great!

On what object? The getPosition method typically returns a
google.maps.LatLng object.

A google.maps.LatLng object tends to have .lat() and .lng() methods
which return the floating point values of those coordinates.

That should work assuming marker is defined as a google.maps.Marker
object and is in scope.

That is an entirely different problem. Most likely your "marker"
variable is not in the global scope (it is probably local to some
function).
