try this:

function getLatLongDetail(latLng) {

    var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); 
    geocoder.geocode({ 'latLng': latLng },
      function (results, status) {
          if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
              if (results[0]) {

                  var address = "", city = "", state = "", zip = "", country = "";


                  for (var i = 0; i < results[0].address_components.length; i++) {
                      var addr = results[0].address_components[i];
                      // check if this entry in address_components has a type of country
                      if (addr.types[0] == 'country')
                          country = addr.long_name;
                      else if (addr.types[0] == 'street_address') // address 1
                          address = address + addr.long_name;
                      else if (addr.types[0] == 'establishment')
                          address = address + addr.long_name;
                      else if (addr.types[0] == 'route')  // address 2
                          address = address + addr.long_name;
                      else if (addr.types[0] == 'postal_code')       // Zip
                          zip = addr.short_name;
                      else if (addr.types[0] == ['administrative_area_level_1'])       // State
                          state = addr.long_name;
                      else if (addr.types[0] == ['locality'])       // City
                          city = addr.long_name;
                  }


                  alert('City: '+ city + '\n' + 'State: '+ state + '\n' + 'Zip: '+ zip + '\n' + 'Country: ' + country);

              }

          }

      });
}
