Get the full formatted address from Reverse Geocoding

Question

I want to retrieve the full formatted address via Google Maps API v3 Reverse Geocoding, since it only shows the postal code and/or city and country in many

Answer 1

To get the most precise result, use the first result (results[0]), not the second (results[1]):

function coordinates_to_address(lat, lng) {
    var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);

    geocoder.geocode({'latLng': latlng}, function(results, status) {
        if(status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
            if(results[0]) {
                $('#address_current').text(results[0].formatted_address);
            } else {
                alert('No results found');
            }
        } else {
            var error = {
                'ZERO_RESULTS': 'Kunde inte hitta adress'
            }

            // alert('Geocoder failed due to: ' + status);
            $('#address_new').html('<span class="color-red">' + error[status] + '</span>');
        }
    });
}
