Question

I’m fetching a bunch of markers with the Places API. The attributes keep changing, can someone explain me why ?

I use something like (given __place is the result of a Places API call)

var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(__place.geometry.location.Qa, 
  __place.geometry.location.Ra);     

It used to be __place.geometry.location.Ia, __place.geometry.location.Ja then
__place.geometry.location.Oa / Pa
and now
__place.geometry.location.Qa / Ra

Why is it always changing, is it supposed to be like that or what ? I don’t understand how one can develop something with places API if it keeps changing ??

Answer 1

They are internal structures, you should never use them.

Use functions .lat() (instead of Qa) and .lng() (instead of Ra) for coordinates.

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

for example:

latitude of the map center var lat = map.getCenter().lat();

longitude of the map center var lng = map.getCenter().lng();

And read this Error on Latitude and Longitude – Google Maps API JS 3.0
