This is my site. Im working on so you can enter a location on the search input field, and then see theres xx km from a restaurant.<\/p>\n

Now i got almost everything working. If you see the source code you can see how it works. It showAddress(what you searched). And then show addresses makes it into lat\/lng cords, and pass it to computeRestaurants() which computes the distances between the location you entered and the restaurants.<\/p>\n

Somehow, when I run:<\/p>\n

computeRestaurants(new google.maps.LatLng(55.662133, 12.508028)); \n<\/code><\/pre>\n
outside the functions, it works and gives correct values.<\/p>\n
But when i do:<\/p>\n
showAddress('Valby'); \/\/ (like in the source code)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
You can see that it returns NaN. And inside showAddress() it executes the same command as the one i wrote above computeRestaurants( the point )<\/p>\n
So why will it not work properly?<\/p>\n
point<\/code> in showAddress is: (55.662133, 12.508028)<\/code> so it is already converted to LatLng cords and therefore no need to new google.maps.latlng(...<\/code><\/p>\n
My only bet right now is the brackets () ??<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. \n
    replace your showAddress by this:<\/p>\n
    var geocoder;\nfunction showAddress(address)\n{\n  if (typeof(geocoder) == 'undefined') geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();\n\n  geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {\n    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {\n      computeRestaurants(results[0].geometry.location);\n    } else {\n      alert(\"Geocode was not successful for the following reason: \" + status);\n    }\n  });\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    You are using mixup of v2 and v3 apis, and that is the problem.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
