Question

i am using the following javascript code and it was working. suddenly, it started returning only the longitude and the latitude was null.

Why am I getting this kind of sporadic response ? Any clue ?

var place = search.autocomplete.getPlace();

$('#lat').val(place.geometry.location.$a);
$('#lng').val(place.geometry.location.ab);

EDIT:
on printing the place, I see that “$a” got changed to “ab” and “ab” got changed to “cb”. surprise. How do I take care of this, if they change it in future again ?

Answer 1

These are internal variables that you should not directly access. Please use the documented methods instead.

For example:

var place = search.autocomplete.getPlace();

$('#lat').val(place.geometry.location.lat());
$('#lng').val(place.geometry.location.lng());
