Getting Latitude and Longitude from Google Places search api using Javascript

Question

How do I get the longitude and latitude from the searched location with the google maps place search box api.

Im using the same code as the google demo - https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-searchbox

Answer 1

function GetLatlong() {   var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();   var address = document.getElementById('textboxid').value;    geocoder.geocode({     'address': address   }, function(results, status) {      if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {       var latitude = results[0].geometry.location.lat();       var longitude = results[0].geometry.location.lng();     }   }); } 

You can use the above function which will give you the latitude and longitude for the area entered by user.
